Ways to Maintain Bone Strength
One of these is our every time we talk query in regards to our calcium supplements. Are we taking it on a regular basis? Have we found a better buy for it anywhere? Recently she began discussing other ways to keep our bones strong... after all healthy bones are not just for kids.
Ways to keep bones strong- listen to our mother
Our mom's favorite adage in the world is "Walking's good." Simple yet profound. She parks near the end of the lot when she goes to a store. Upon entering into a store, prior to grabbing a cart or a basket, she will walk the inside perimeter of the store. Upon completion of the "perimeter lap", she will then grab a cart, do an outside shopping sweep, and slowly work her way inside. For such a petite woman, her bones are super strong. She has not once broken any bone ever. (We will not go into the number of bones I have broken...) The more weight one puts on one's bones whether it be via walking, standing, running, dancing or even skipping, the stronger those bones will be. She may be petite, but she is strong.
Ways to keep bones strong- too little too late
Being too thin can cause one to be at risk for osteoporosis. Eat right and maintain a healthy weight. If we strive to be overly thin our whole lives, the damage may already be done.
Ways to keep bones strong- the commercial really is true!
"Milk does a body good". Many of us do not consume all the calcium we need on a daily basis. Drink a glass of milk daily in addition to eating more dairy products such as yogurt, cheese, and ice cream. Calcium supplements can be essential if you find yourself not doing your body a favor with the proper amount of calcium.
Ways to keep bones strong- just say no!
If you smoke- quit! Women who smoke have lower levels of estrogen than nonsmokers do. They can also experience menopause earlier, which can jeopardize bone density.
Ways to keep bones strong- blue is only a color
Think like a doctor, the leg bone is connected to the thigh bone....Chronic depression has been connected with the stress hormone, cortisol, which has been connected to bone loss. Consequently, if you find yourself feeling "blue" for more than two weeks, make an appointment to see your doctor.
