In this article on EKO HOT BLOG, we would be looking at some conditions that could slowly weaken your bones.

1. Rheumatoid arthritis. This is when your body’s immune system attacks your bones and joints often in the hands and feet. The most common symptoms of this condition include swelling or pains in the joints, tiredness, or feeling feverish. There are medical treatments employed for this condition like medications or surgery

2. Celiac disease. Celiac disease is a condition in which the body is unable to process a protein found in wheat and other grains called gluten. If you have this condition and still eat these foods, your immune system begins to attack your small intestine.
