1. Share Success: Letters From Readers Letter I: From Peggy S. Hi EZorb, My mother took another plant-based calcium for many years, but ended up with bone spurs in her hips. After being on Ezorb for a few weeks, the bone spurs went away, the pain subsided and she started rebuilding bone. That was several years ago. She will be 103 her next birthday in March. She is still doing good. Thanks for the wonderful product! Peggy S. Letter II:
From Tammy W. Hi, my name is Tammy. Because I am several years post menopausal and have a family history of osteoporosis, my doctor ordered my first bone density scan in July 2022 which revealed the onset of the disease. Since I live a very healthy lifestyle of no processed food, no cola or caffeine, do regular weight bearing exercises, and take 1,200mg of calcium daily, I was surprised by the results of the scan. My doctor was ready to prescribe pharmaceutical intervention but I wanted to do the research before agreeing. I read books by experts in the field of osteoporosis and searched the internet only to be told the same thing over and over. Calcium supplements and dairy foods are not the answer. Pharmaceutical drugs do not increase bone density and as always, come with side effects I am not willing to endure. While doing the internet research, I came across EZorb and read the entire site. My doctor agreed to let me take charge of this problem since my bone loss was at the beginning stages. I changed nothing in my life except to throw away all my calcium supplements and begin taking EZorb daily, as directed. I approached my yearly scan with trepidation. One year and one week later, my bone density scan shows that the bone loss has CEASED! Thanks to EZorb, I now look forward to next year's scan with hope. Letter III: From Anonymous This is the only product that worked on me. I tried everything. It is worth the small amount they charge! You need to also get alkaline to prevent cancer and this will definitely help. Your bones need it - don't waste money on anthing else. Ezorb Works!

The gender gap in life expectancy is widening — in women's favor. Here are 5 reasons why.Rebecca Corey Wed, November 15, 2023 at 4:54 PM PST Women have long been projected to outlive men — not just in the U.S. but around the world, both in more developed and underdeveloped countries. Now that gender gap appears to be growing stateside, with women expected to live nearly six years longer than men, according to new research. The study looked at the contributions of COVID-19 and other underlying causes of death to the life expectancy gender gap from 2010 to 2021. It found that the difference in how long men and women were expected to live increased by 0.23 years from 2010 to 2019 and 0.70 years from 2019 to 2021. The gap widened to almost six years in 2021 — the largest difference since 1996 — with a life expectancy of 79.1 years for women and 73.2 years for men, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Meanwhile, the life expectancy at birth in the U.S. continued to drop overall — from 78.8 years in 2019, to 77 years in 2020, to 76.1 years in 2021. Historically, a big reason for women’s longer life spans has been differences in smoking behavior, leading women to have lower cardiovascular and lung cancer death rates than men, according to the study. Dr. Michael Fredericson tells Yahoo Life that there’s evidence that, in general, women tend to adhere to healthier lifestyles than men. Fredericson, who was not involved in the study, is co-director of the Stanford Longevity Center and director of Stanford University’s lifestyle medicine program. “I think women will probably always be ahead, but I think we can do a better job catching up now that we've come out of COVID,” Fredericson says. COVID-19 had a major impact on men’s life expectancy, according to the study; here are five things researchers identified as factors that are widening the gap in how long men and women can expect to live in the U.S. COVID-19From 2019 to 2021, COVID-19 led to a 0.33 year difference in life expectancy between men and women — making it the biggest contributor to the widening gender gap. Overall, men experienced higher COVID-19 mortality rates than women; in 2021, there were 131.31 deaths per 100,000 men versus 81.66 deaths per 100,00 women. The study says there were likely multiple reasons for this, including more comorbidities in men and socioeconomic factors like incarceration and homelessness. More men may have also participated in the labor force outside the home — putting them at greater risk of infection during the pandemic; according to the U.S. Census Bureau, women made up a majority of at-home workers during COVID. Unintentional injuriesUnintentional injuries were the second-biggest contributor to the widening life expectancy gap, with a 0.27 year difference between men and women; prior to COVID-19, unintentional injuries were the leading contributor. The drug overdose epidemic was a major culprit, according to the study, with accidental poisonings (mostly drug overdoses) accounting for most of the unintentional injuries. Men are more likely than women to engage in illicit drug use (e.g., illegal drugs or the misuse of prescription drugs), and men are more likely than women to die from or need an emergency department visit for illicit drug use. Heart diseaseThere’s been a “persistent gap” in heart disease between men and women, according to the study, and prior to COVID, heart disease was one of the leading contributors to worsening life expectancy for men. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S. and refers to several types of conditions, including the most common, coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to a heart attack. Men often develop heart disease earlier than women. Women have higher levels of the reproductive hormones estrogen and progesterone, which may offer some protection in young adulthood by boosting blood vessel health. Fredericson says lifestyle factors may also be at play: “Smoking, high blood pressure, being overweight — these things all affect your cardiovascular system, your metabolic system, having higher cholesterol, and all those things are going to put you higher at risk for cardiovascular disease or really all diseases that could affect your life expectancy.” Suicide and homicide“The increase in overdose deaths, homicide, and suicide underscore twin crises of deaths from despair and firearm violence,” the study's authors said. Though women are more likely to attempt suicide, more men die by suicide — and guns are a major reason why, with firearms accounting for 54.64% of all suicide deaths in 2021. That same year, men died by suicide 3.9 times more than women, with white males comprising nearly 70% of suicides. “In general, men are more prone to using a firearm than women would be,” Fredericson says. “They're probably more likely to have a gun and to have access to a gun.” DiabetesMen are more likely to have undiagnosed diabetes and because they tend to have more belly fat, men are also more likely to get type 2 diabetes at a lower weight than women. Non-insulin-dependent diabetes (aka. type 2 diabetes) usually appears after age 40 and is the most common type, accounting for up to 95% of diabetes patients. “Type 2 diabetes is very preventable if you modify your lifestyle, and I think women do a better job of that than men,” Fredericson says. In fact, in addition to lowering the risk of diabetes, Fredericson says there are several commonsense habits anyone can make to improve life expectancy overall, including:
“If men can do a better job with incorporating healthy lifestyle factors into their life, I think we can do a better job sort of catching up to women in terms of life expectancy,” Fredericson says.
