10 TIPS TO RESTRAIN OSTEOPOROSIS
Hi!
I just want to share some tips that you can easily do to stave off Osteoporosis and here you are:
1) You need to consume two or three dairy products at least every day. Even low-fat versions contain the level of calcium you need to maintain bone density.
2) Giving a fig. Adults need around 1000 mg of calcium a day. Eight dried figs can provide a tenth of that.
3) Go nuts for nuts. Almonds are packed with calcium. Just 25 g provides you with 60 mg of the bone-strengthening mineral.
4) You need to eat your greens. Green vegetables such as cabbage are rich in calcium.
5)Drinking mineral water is essential - but forget fizzy drinks. Mineral water contains calcium, and a study in Osteoporosis International found that your body absorbs it just as well from water as from milk.
6) Anyone for a cuppa? A Chinese study found that people who regularly drank tea (mainly green) had denser bones than those who didn't.
7) Say hello to sunshine. Turning your face up to the sun for 15 minutes at least a day - without sunscreen - is the best way for your body to make vitamin D, which it needs to help it absorb calcium and build bones.
8) You need to get enough sleep. New bone replaces old while you are asleep, so it's vital to get your sleep time.
9) Veer away your vices. Heavy drinking and smoking are well-known risk factors for Osteoporosis.
10) Get yourself active. But make sure it's a weight-bearing activity-brisk walking, dancing and even gardening are great for your bones.
Live Healthy!
