What you should know about Osteoporosis

7/8/2016

We kicked off the first of a regular occurring event last month. Only 35% of American adults consume the recommended daily allowance of calcium.  The rate of vitamin D deficiency is on the rise. Calcium needs vitamin D to be absorbed. Women 19-50 years and men 51-70 years need 1,000 mg/day of Calcium and 600 IU/day of vitamin D. Women 51-70 years need 1200 mg/day. Look are your diet first to see if you are getting enough calcium and vitamin D. If you are not getting enough in your diet, then look to food you can add. One serving of yogurt or milk will give you 25% of RDA.  Can't eat dairy? Then try Almond or coconut milk or fortified juice.  Still not able to get enough? Take a supplement of no more than 500 mg of calcium and vitamin D, because that is all your body can absorb at one time.  Added regular exercise to your week. Strengthening exercises for bone density, flexibility and balance exercises to help prevent falls and aerobic for heart health. If you have already been diagnosed with osteoporosis, take care to not bend and twist and the middle of your back.  This is the most common place for a spine compression fracture. If you would like more information go to American Bone Heath. If you would like to be invited to our next talk on osteoporosis, Like our Facebook page or sign up to get our newsletter.
