Please, Love Your Bones!
With 1 in 2 women and 1 in 5 men over the age of 50 predicted to break a bone as a result of Osteoporosis (often called the ‘silent disease’) looking after your bones is imperative.
Here are our top 4 tips and hints on how to do just that!
1. Undertake regular weight-bearing exercise to strengthen muscle and bone thereby reducing the risk of a fragility fracture.
- Examples of weight-bearing exercises are:
- Walking
- Running
- Skipping
- Climbing up and down the stairs
- Bodybuilding and lifting weights
2. Look after yourself by ensuring you have a healthy lifestyle.
Simply put by living a healthy lifestyle you will, by default look after and ‘love your bones’. Exercise regularly, eat a good balanced diet including breakfast (it really is the most important meal of the day), reduce your intake of nicotine, alcohol, caffeine, salt and sugar, avoid stress and rest when you need to
3. If in doubt ask for a bone-density test.
A bone-density test is the only test that can diagnose Osteoporosis before a broken bone occurs. The test uses a machine to measure your bone-density. Your test result will help your healthcare provider make recommendations to help you protect your bones including, where necessary, taking appropriate medication.
4. Maintain a balanced diet.
A mixed, well-balanced diet is important for all of us and should include a wide variety of foods from the four main food groups. A mixed, well-balanced diet will provide you and your body with all the vitamins and minerals you need including Calcium. Calcium is vital for teeth and bones because it gives them strength and rigidity.
Please Note: If you are taking Osteoporosis drug treatment you may benefit from a higher daily Calcium intake of around 1,000mg a day. Please check with your healthcare provider.
If you’re struggling to maintain a balanced diet rich in Calcium and Vitamin D then please don’t despair! You may want to consider taking a Calcium supplement and that’s where ellactiva® comes in. ellactiva® make a tasty Caramel Calcium Chew with each chew containing 500mg of Calcium but which lack the chalky aftertaste so often associated with Calcium supplements.
