Osteoporosis

What is osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is deterioration of bone structure or bone loss. Signs and symptoms of osteoporosis don't usually appear until later of life. In America, osteoporosis affects seniors over age 70. Osteoporosis progresses slowly and silently and as our bones become more porous and fragile, we often won't realize we have osteoporosis until we fracture a bone. Nutrition plays an important role of keeping our bones strong and healthy and slowing the natural loss.

The mineral calcium not only builds and strengthens bones and teeth, it also maintains normal heart beat and regulates blood pressure. It is also essential for the healthy functioning of the nerve system. Average adults need at least 1000mg of calcium daily, while post-menopausal women need up to 1500mg a day. Calcium is mostly found in milk and other dairy products such as cheese and yogurt.

If you have lactose intolerance, you must consume calcium found in nondairy items such as dark green vegetables and dried beans or nutritional supplements such as Renew+. In addition of consuming adequate calcium intake, physical activity can strengthen your bones as well. So start doing some weight-bearing exercise such as walking and hiking to maintain healthy bones.
