Health food fanatic Gwynnie may soon have to rethink her meal plans since she has just revealed she has osteopenia, a condition that normally affects elderly women.While having a scan for a leg fracture, the Shakespeare in Love actress was diagnosed with the bone condition which can lead to the brittle bone disease osteoporosis.
Gwyneth, mum of two and married to Coldplay's Chris Martin, is famous for following strict macrobiotic diets that cut out a lot of essential foodgroups. She also has a punishing workout schedule.On her website, Gwyneth wrote: "Doctors tested my vitamin D levels, which turned out to be the lowest thing they had ever seen (not a good thing)."
Since Gwynnie only eats vegetables, grains and fish and never eats dairy products, she has been putting her health at risk. A lack of calcium and over-exercising are factors that can increase the chances of getting osteopenia.
