WHEN
SHOULD I START TREATING MY
BONE HEALTH?
|
An adult
human has 206 bones, which
are constantly being renewed
and remodeled. Bones perform
several important roles in
the body. Bones form a
framework that supports the
body and protects soft
organs. They are an
essential part of movement
because muscles attach here
and the arrangement of bones
determines the type of
movement that can be done.
Bones are important
storehouses of minerals,
including the major buffer,
calcium. They also contain
an inner core of marrow that
produces blood and immune
cells.
Most people do not think
about bone health until they
are in their later years.
This is a mistake because
significant increases in
bone density can only be
made in childhood or early
adulthood (up to age 30).
For the remainder of our
lives the goal is to
maintain our bones.
HOW CAN I MAINTAIN HEALTHY
BONES?
- Take a high quality
Calcium Supplement
- Eat plenty of
vegetables (for their
high mineral content)
- Avoid coffee and
other caffeinated
beverages (the take
calcium away from the
bones)
- Exercise regularly
to maintain bone mass
- Track your pH and
maintain an alkaline
state
- Balance hormones
with essential fatty
acids and herbs
