Bones are a critically important part of your body giving you structure that allows you to move normally. They protect your vital organs so their health is very important.
🔴THINGS WHICH AFFECT YOUR BONE HEALH:
(Some are also mentioned in next slide of post.)
👉🏻Physical activity
People who are physically inactive have a higher risk of osteoporosis than do their more-active counterparts.
👉🏻Sex:
You're at greater risk of osteoporosis if you're a woman, because women have less bone tissue than do men.
👉🏻Size:
You're at risk if you are extremely thin (with a body mass index of 19 or less) or have a small body frame because you might have less bone mass to draw from as you age.
👉🏻Age:
Your bones become thinner and weaker as you age.
👉🏻Hormone levels:
Too much thyroid hormone can cause bone loss. In women, bone loss increases dramatically at menopause due to dropping estrogen levels. Prolonged absence of menstruation (amenorrhea) before menopause also increases the risk of osteoporosis.
👉🏻Eating disorders and other conditions:
Severely restricting food intake and being underweight weakens bone in both men and women.
🔴LIFE STYLE CHANGES FOR STRONG BONES:
✅Include plenty of calcium in your diet.
Good sources of calcium include dairy products, almonds, broccoli, kale, canned salmon with bones, sardines and soy products, such as tofu.
✅Pay attention to vitamin D.
Your body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium.
Good sources of vitamin D include oily fish, such as salmon, trout, whitefish and tuna. Additionally, mushrooms, sunlight, eggs and fortified foods, such as milk and cereals, are good sources of vitamin D.
✅Include physical activity in your daily routine. Weight-bearing exercises, such as walking, jogging, and climbing stairs, can help you build strong bones and slow bone loss.
✅Manage a healthy weight
❌Avoid Very Low-Calorie Diets
❌Avoid Smoking
