Oh, I am late this time. I have not gotten back into my habit yet, to write weekly, due to the break of 6 months+. Habit indeed is a 2-edged sword, a powerful tool either for improvement, or worsening. Believe me, it is probably more powerful than addiction.
About Bone Health
A summary of how to build bone
Nutrition plays a critical role in building and maintaining strong bones. Adequate calcium and vitamin D intake are essential. Calcium is the primary mineral in bones, and vitamin D helps the body absorb it effectively.
Vitamin D, often called the “sunshine vitamin,” can be synthesized in the skin through sunlight exposure.That is the free source. In my work, I found that close to 90% of my clients who test for their blood Vit D, do not meet the reference range. I recommend daily supplement of Vit D 2000 iu.
Physical activity AKA exercise (for most of us who are likely to be involved in non manual work/labour)is an important part of building strong bone, and slowing down bone loss. It is important for younger ones to be active to help reach his/her maximal potential bone strength by their 30s.
