there are many ways to improve bone
health and as you age this becomes more
and more important hi I’m Rebecca
Brayton and welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re learning how and why to keep
our bones healthy how do you build and
maintain healthy bones first of all you
take care of you know good health in
general good nutrition including calcium
including vitamin D and obviously also
doing appropriate exercise to both
improve your bone strength but also
reduce the risk profile how can
osteoporosis affect one’s life you know
it’s a silent disease so you’re not
suffering from that until you get the
first furniture when you got the first
fracture which could be a vertebral
fracture which could be a hip fracture
then it’s reduce your life expectancy in
fact twenty to thirty percent people
having your hip fracture will die within
a year after this event is this a
problem primarily in women yes in fact
over for people suffering from
osteoporosis you’ll find three women and
one man and the main reason for that is
that women tends to lose a bone around
the age of menopause because of the lack
of estrogens and in men and tends to
occur around the age of 60 and 65 so
later in life I’ve heard something about
a bone density test is this a good
indicator yes the bone density test will
in fact measure the most relevant you
know measure that you could predict
fracture with so that’s test is
available it’s a radiology test that is
easily available around the age of
menopause the actual procedure is very
simple we actually have to measure the
site where we will put in the probe
further to this we will put gel and
we’ll proceed in doing an ultrasound of
the finger the three best measurements
out of five will result in providing us
with a bone mass reading to ascertain if
you have reached your bone mass peak for
the age that you are at the point of the
test is to measure how much calcium is
at that moment in the bone calcium is
the essential nutrients of your your
bone it gives a strand to your bone and
it’s headed to the collagen matrix in
your bone and it’s improving the
distance to fracture what are some good
sources of calcium the main source of
calcium is the melt product and
derivatives and it’s including about
eighty percent of your calcium content
daily and how much calcium should we be
eating each day usually we called about
a serving which could be a yogurt could
be a glass of nail to be a portion of
cheese and usually you try to achieve
325 portion a day does this amount
increase with age yes in fact it’s it’s
more about three portion when you’re
younger and it’s more about five person
when you’re almost you know 50 and over
what might happen if we’re not getting
enough calcium your skeleton is that the
calcium source so you’ll just extract
calcium from your skeleton that’s why
you may be at risk of inducing bone loss
and osteoporosis and bone fragility
thank you very much thank you
