prevent osteoporosis depend on whether it is due to environmental factors‚ or genetics. Genetic form of osteoporosis cannot be prevented. However‚ you can decrease your risk by not being too skinny‚ because the bones deteriorate faster‚ consuming calcium‚ exercising and keeping a proper meal plan. Me: Now we have heard about arthritis and osteoporosis‚ what about injuries sustained from falling? Dr. Solomon: We all know that the elderly are at risk for falling for a number of different reasons

weakening of bones in children also known as Osteomalacia in adults‚ usually because of a vitamin D deficiency or genetic condition. Vitamin D is what promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphorous from the Gestational Intestines tract. When a person has a vitamin D insufficiency it makes it difficult to maintain proper calcium and phosphorous levels in the bones. There are several different

maintains life. In reality there are 20 minerals that play a way bigger role than I ever knew in how healthy your body is and stays. Some minerals have a specific role it plays‚ where others play many different roles. Calcium is a good example of a mineral that has many roles. “Calcium alone keeps bones strong‚ regulates blood pressure‚ helps muscles contract‚ and transmits nerve signals from cell to cell” (Grosvenor & Smolin‚ 2006). Minerals have two functions in our bodies by either building

metal ions with a charge of +2 or higher. The ‘scum’ left over in a cleaned shower stall or coffee pot is equivalent to water hardness. Water dissolves salts which contains ions of sodium‚ magnesium‚ calcium‚ iron‚ and many other metal; however‚ the most prevalent ion found is calcium. Since calcium ions typically make the most predominant contribution to water hardness‚ by convention hardness is reported as mg 〖CaCo〗_3/L of solution. Water with a hardness value less than 60 ppm is considered “soft”
