Indulge your bones with calcium
Calcium is important to protect the bone from thinning or being porous easily. Increasing calcium for the body is very beneficial. Different age requires different calcium intake as follow :
- Children and teenagers require 800-1200 milligrams of calcium per day
- Pregnant women and breast feeding mothers require 1500-2000 milligrams of calcium per day
- Menopause women require 1500 milligrams of calcium per day
- Elderly people require 1000 milligrams of calcium
Basic food such as Thai vermicelli, milk, dried shrimp, green vegetable, small fishes or sova beans are rich in calcium. Taking too much meat will cause acid in the blood sucking out the calcium from the bone. Calcium from vegetables will absorb less calcium than the animal. If there is enough calcium for approximately 18 months, it will reduce the risk of having a broken bone. Vitamin D can also prevent porous bone or this bone because it absorbs the calcium from the intestine by building melanin on the skin that is radiated by the sun. A hot country like Thailand, the sun ray is for free and not for sell as well as healthy for the bones.
