DIET AND BONE HEALTH
About 10 million Americans have osteoporosis which is when the body loses calcium from bone faster than it builds new bone. Gender is an uncontrollable risk factor for developing osteoporosis because women have less bone tissue than men. Understanding osteoporosis is essential for protecting yourself from this condition.
1. Osteoporosis is often referred to as a “silent disease” because many women don’t know they have it until they break a bone. A bone mineral density test is the most effective method of determining the health of your bones.
2. Smoking can put you at a greater risk for osteoporosis by preventing necessary calcium from being absorbed into the body. Women who smoke also tend to have lower estrogen levels which put them at a higher risk for osteoporosis.
3. Smaller women are at greater risk due to their thinner, more fragile bones.
4. Medication is not the first line of treatment. The primary course of action after diagnosis includes proper diet, exercise, and fall prevention.
5. Weight-bearing exercises such as weight training, hiking, and jogging add strength to bones. They also build muscle strength, coordination, and balance, which help to guard against falls and, in turn, fractures.
6. Consume dairy products including milk, yogurt, and cheese and plant sources such as leafy greens and almonds.
(Did You Know? Bone mass peaks between ages 18 and 25. Vitamin D plays a major role in calcium absorption. Fractures happen in about half of women with osteoporosis)
Recommendation amounts of calcium for men 50-70 are 1,000 mg per day and for women and men over 71 are 1,200 mg per day. There are several recommendations for Vitamin D but range from 600-1,000 IU per day. There is evidence that there may be some adverse effects above this level. About 75%-80% of calcium consumed is from dairy products.
See your family physician or gynecologist to have your bone health evaluated.
(MY tip is to do two weight exercises at one time. For example, from a deep knee bend holding weights, take the weights and press them. Another is while holding weights at your sides, do a lunge and curl the weights at the same time.)

LA DOLCE VITA, JOIE DE VIVRE:

To aid in Thanksgiving preparations, over the next few weeks I have found some non-traditional recipes for sides you may find interesting.
Butternut Squash Curry Soup:
To a slow cooker, add 8 cups butternut squash cubed, 2-14.5 oz. cans of chicken broth, 1 Tbls. butter and ½ teaspoon salt. Stir in a 12 oz. can evaporated fat free milk and 2-3 Tbls. red curry paste. Use an immersion blender or put batches of the mixture in a regular blender to combine and make the squash creamy. Cook on low 8-10 hours.
