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).
yinâ² and yangâ². n. (in Chinese philosophy and religion) two principles, one negative, dark, and feminine (yin), and one positive, bright, and masculine (yang), whose interaction influences the destinies of creatures and things.
The ubiquitous yin-yang symbol holds its roots in Taoism/Daoism, a Chinese religion and philosophy. The yin, the dark swirl, is associated with shadows, femininity, and the trough of a wave; the yang, the light swirl, represents brightness, passion and growth.2 Aug 2013.
