What is osteoporosis? Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become weak and are more likely to fracture or break. It is called a âsilentâ disease because bone loss often occurs without your knowing it. Until about age 30, your body forms enough new bone to replace the bone that is naturally broken down by the body (a process called bone turnover).

Qi is in a state of continuous flux, transforming endlessly from one aspect of Qi into another. It is neither created nor is it ever destroyed; it simply changes in its manifestation. In order to talk about the relationships between the various aspects and manifestations of Qi within a given context, Chinese philosophy employs the concept of yin and yang.
