Healthy Bones For A Healthy Future

Scared of breaking your bones or going limp in your old age?
Does the thought of brittle and fracture prone bones haunt you?

As we know, every problem brings along a solution with it, so does this. By following certain healthy lifestyle choices, you can prevent or slow down the process of bone loss in the later years.

An introduction to bones
 
Bones form the skeletal structure of the body. At birth, the human body consists of 270 bones. As the person reaches adulthood the number of bones reduces to 206 after some bones get fused.

Bones give structure to the body and aid in movement, protection of vital organs and production of blood cells.

The amount of bone mineral in bone tissue is called bone density or bone mineral density. It reaches maximum density by the age of 30.

Decrease in bone density
 
The body tends to re-absorb calcium from old bones and create new ones. As the person ages, the re-absorption rate becomes greater than the rate of creating new bones. Thus the gradual erosion of bone mass begins to take place, resulting in bone loss and other disorders.

Bone loss is endemic to old age, specifically among women above the age of 50. Bone loss makes the person vulnerable to fractures and broken bones. It may also lead to osteoporosis and other bone diseases.

It is best to start early!
 
Bone strength can be improved at a young age by following certain lifestyle rules.

1. Nutritious diet: Diet rich in calcium and Vitamin D helps in developing healthy bones. Magnesium and phosphorus are other important nutrients. Certain foods that aid in healthy bones include yogurt, milk, cheese, fish, eggs, green leafy vegetables etc.

2. Avoid smoking: The smoke from cigarettes releases free radicals that trigger chain reaction affecting organs and hormones that are involved in keeping the bones healthy.

3. Avoid excessive alcohol: Alcohol can prove to be damaging for bone health. Alcohol interferes with calcium re-absorption which is very important for formation of new bones.

4. Exercises: Weight bearing exercises like running, jogging and walking help the body in strengthening the bones. They are known to be high-impact exercises that carry the weight of your body. This equips the bones for wear and tear in other activities.

Although the gradual erosion of bones is an inevitable part of the ageing process, we can control the consequences to a large extent. After all prevention is better than cure!
