| Calcium Supplementation |  Consumption foods “rich in calcium” is not enough. Our soils are wasted from years of profitable farming to hold up the processed food industries. Whole foods and fresh, raw fruits and vegetables are key. You really do need to take a calcium supplement.
Out-of-the-way fact: Calcium in the chemical form: Microcrystaline Hydroxiappetite is the most absorbable. You should take 1200mg per day. You are able to find that in a health food store near you.
Don't be fooled by commercial: Tums is not absorbable calcium. These advertisements say, “... and Tums has calcium for your bones!” Humorous, they forget to point out that the form of calcium in tums might make a great buffer for stomach acid, but, it is not bio-available, and cannot be absorbed into your bones. How they get away with this, it’s not known. Truth in advertising is supposed to be a law.
Oyster Shell Calcium (Calcium Carbonate) cannot be absorbed by the body also. You can find it in health food and drug store. This form of calcium is the most inexpensive. Remember you get nothing for your money here. What an accident – Tums is made with calcium carbonate. Go figure! Calcium Citrate is fairly absorbable by the human body. Let's have a look at the statistics, while. Out of every 10 molecules of Microcrystaline Hydroxyappetite that is swallowed, approximately 8 can be absorbed. Out of 10 molecules of Calcium Citrate swallowed, 5-6 can be absorbed. Out of 10 molecules of Calcium Carbonate (Tums) not even 1 can be absorbed. Therefore – spend your money however you like. Just be knowledgeable about your choice.
Training with Weights
This additional load bearing will add to the formation of bone. It should be started early, although. And bear in mind this: not like sleep, you do get to save up bone thickness. Get a trainer, and do it! Prevent those hip fractures while you are young. In golfers, prevent the spinal fractures, and we will be way ahead.
Don’t make any mistake about this. Select exercises that do not squeeze your spine axially from the very top of your head. And enlarge your weights little by little so as not to injure yourself. Using an individual trainer is the best thought.
