Please react on this article below ... tnx in advance? The exercise is more important than calcium supplements for bone
Monday, September 18, 2006
A new study has found that recent decisions taking calcium supplements does not do much to reduce bone fractures in childhood or later life. The study does not cover all reasons, but he is not alone. Studies conducted over many years show that bone density is more dependent than eating calcium. loss of calcium is by smoking, excessive consumption of alcohol and soda, lack of exercise and eating animal protein. A young person can thin their bones through bad habits to the equivalent of an elderly person.
The bone density when you are older depends on what you do now. Physical inactivity is a major risk factor for osteoporosis and fractures. Exercise thickens bones muscles pulling on them. Without exercise, you can lose bone density, no matter how much calcium you consume. Without exercise, you "pee" the calcium you eat back. You need calcium to give a reason to stick on your bones.
Even if you're a young man you need to build bone now. osteoporotic hip and vertebral fractures are a major cause of morbidity and mortality for women and men. One in eight men over age 50 have a fracture due to osteoporosis, the greater his risk of prostate cancer. The mortality rate in the year following a hip fracture is nearly twice as high for men than for women.
Research in the older population reflects the ability to increase bone density in the exercise. Weightlifting is often mentioned as necessary. People think they need to go to a gym or buy dumbbells for home use. Weightlifting includes lifting groceries, children, and packages around the house. Weight-resistant activity is to move, shoot, and lifting your own weight. You can load your leg at the hip, a major site of osteoporosis, by bending right using your legs whenever you bend every day. Jump to hard bread - not a mystery, easy to correct for advice. Future posts will show more bone building exercise from daily activities.
several vitamins and minerals from fruits and vegetables help bone density. Calcium needs vitamin D to work. Sunlight is a source often overlooked. Sunlight is necessary for your immune system, bones, mood and overall health. There are those who say there is no exposure to the sun safely. Balance your exposure time to reduce the risk of cataracts and skin cancer. Get out of your chair and out in the sun to exercise every day.
You need calcium and plenty of exercise for bone health.
One without the other is insufficient for good health. The amount of calcium you need per day is about 800 mg, but a little more would be better. Vitamin D is necessary for calcium absorption.
It is well known that people who are bedridden need extra calcium as inactivity depletes your calcium levels.
I feel like I'm getting more exercise.
I'm sorry, I'm not reading all this
First, he said the exercise is more important than calcium, he says they are both the same by the end of the article ...
And I agree that both are needed on the same. It is true that calcium is good for bones, but if you're sedentery then its not going to help you a lot together.
But if you get your calcium and vitamins, healthy food, and you get your cardio and weight-esp. weight training as you age, then you'll be quite comfortable. And not just to fight against osteoporosis, see how a healthy diet and exercise can help many other health problems.
I read that and I agree. What you do when you are young indeed your life later. It is difficult when you're too young to realize that one day you get older. I work with teenagers and encourage them to exercise and stay fit for the reasons that the article states.
