  • Osteoporosis is a disease that affects many elderly. At the aging process, the speed of formation of new bone cells decreased compared to the speed of destruction of bone cells. As a result of bone cell regeneration process will be slower. Gradually, the bones will be increasingly thin and fragile. This state is called osteoporosis.

    The most prudent action in dealing with osteoporosis is prevention. You do this by consuming calcium in sufficient numbers so that will be formed bone is thick and strong. Preventing osteoporosis with calcium-containing food was much better than calcium supplements. A number of researchers found that consumption of calcium supplements may increase the risk apparently suffered a heart attack by 30 percent. Thin tablets that contain calcium are also linked to an increased incidence of stroke and death, although not statistically significant.

    Therefore, people who rely on calcium supplements are advised to eat more foods rich in calcium and try other means such as exercise, not smoking, and maintaining a healthy weight to prevent osteoporosis. After all calcium supplements are not natural and the result will be different when using a natural source of calcium.
