OSTEOPOROSIS AND WEIGHT LOSS
How Anti-Inflammatories Induce Osteoporosis and Weight Gain:
Glucocorticoids (such as cortisone) are often administered as anti-inflammatories.
Chronic overstimulation of gluccocortoroid receptors has been clearly shown to promote both insulin resistance and osteoporosis.
Individuals taking Hydrocortisone or other glucocorticoid anti-inflammatories for extended periods of time need extra supplementation for bone health and to aid insulin function. In addition to supplemental calcium and vitamin D, supplementation with fats high in omega 3 content, particularly DHA and DPA can improve glucose metabolism and aid weight loss.
