Weeks after saying that she’s never felt better, Gwyneth Paltrow, 37, reveals that she’s in the early stages of osteoporosis or brittle bone disease, a serious health complication for older, post-menopausal women. 

Osteoporosis is frequently associated with low bodyweight and unhealthy BMI’s. Paltrow’s health condition was diagnosed in a bone scan after she suffered a leg fracture.  In her internet newsletter Goop, she said: ‘My doctors tested my vitamin D levels, which turned out to be the lowest thing they had ever seen (not a good thing).’

Paltrow, who lives in north London with her Coldplay star husband Chris Martin, follows a macrobiotic diet that concentrates on vegetables, grains, soup and fish. 

Gwyneth is also a devotee of Tracy Anderson, who has also trained Madonna.
