HEALTH IS WEALTH
Preventing or slowing down bone loss should be an integral part of our daily routines, especially if we are leading busy urban lives.Experts say that the following simple tips can help......
* Plenty of calcium and vitamin D is mandatory (your body needs this to absorb calsium) If you are between 19-50 years , doctors say that per day the recommended dietry allowance is 1,000 mg.Post that age ,one needs 1,200 mg. daily.Ask your doctor about supplements if you can't get enough from your diet...
* Vitamin D can be found in oily fish like Tuna and sardines ...egg yolks and fortified milk ...Sunlight helps ypur body to produce vitamin D.....
*Make sure you are physically active .Daily exercise like walking....playing tennis ..climbing the stairs ..
Jogging and doing weights can all help you build bones......
*Smoking ...drinking and substance abuse will take a toll on your bone health.So try and quit as soon as possible....
