Bank On Your Bone Health

By Anastacia Sampson

Although we tend to associate our bones with white dense calcium structures, there is far more to bone health. Our thoughts may only sway to the topic when we near an older age or develop a form of bone disease or bone weakness. To offset bone weakness we need to apply deposits and vigilance on how we deliver those deposits to the bone tissue. We may as well think of our bones as calcium mineral banks, yet there is much security and staff in the running of a bank.

Our mineral calcium needs accompanying security and safe modes of transfer to arrive at the bank of our bones. There are other minerals that are imperative in bone health. Do appreciate that fat is essential for bones however much we tend to shun it, we need it. It has been shown by studies that obesity has not been linked to osteoporosis. Maybe fat serves the bones well and although excess fat may not increase propensity to bone weakness, it does to cardiovascular (such as hypertension) and other forms of disease.

As an obese patient will not be able to exercise and exercise is imperative to bone health so we need to not be fooled. Any exercise need not be strenuous as that actually can place a strain on the bones if not done with guidance. It is the forms of mild physical exercise such as walking that is an aid to bone health! Walking and strolls on days when you have the leisure and capability are worth your time.

As we know other minerals are needed to maintain bone health, we also should not neglect the vitamins. Calcium absorption is affected by the presence of adequate vitamin A, as vitamin A enhances calcium absorption along the digestive tract. We should further appreciate that vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin, which means it needs fat to be absorbed. To have adequate vitamin A we need fat to accompany it in our foods.

The calcium supplements alone are one thing. However this supplement can be improved by taking a balanced multi-mineral supplement. Generally taking calcium and magnesium in almost equal dosages may well be required. Then supplying accompanying vitamin A, among other vitamins to support magnesium, is a boost. Enhancement in absorption of that supplement can be gained by having a wholesome food intake with cereal grains, vegetables, nuts and seeds making up the main portion of your meals instead of animal products.

Do always try having a delivery of balanced fat, the armed security guards, to secure safe delivery of calcium to our bone banks. It is the bones that are essential to keep our immune system and blood circulation supplied with required cells, namely the white blood cells, erythrocytes and platelets. These cells are made in the inner bone marrow from stem cells. The immune system requires healthy bones. Bones may well be quiet like the large yet stern and affluent mineral banks yet they are major decision makers in the finance of body health. Try supporting your bones in benefit in the overall economy of body health. - 17273
