Bone Health


Our bone health is directly linked to the overall health of our body as bones are the storehouses of essential nutrients and minerals, important for the various systems of our body. Maintaining good health of your bones is essential as bones play a vital role in preventing various bone diseases, provides a frame to your body and protects various organs.

Tips:


"In order to know the health and strength of your bones, see your physician. Your doctor may advise you to undergo certain tests like fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) and bone-density test also known as DEXA. These tests will help you calculate your risk to various bone health diseases and the strength of your bones by assessing your lifestyle factors and past history."

"An average adult needs approximately 1,000 to 2,000 IU of vitamin D daily. To get sufficient amount of vitamin D to maintain the health of your bones, expose yourself to the morning rays of sun. Do not overdo the exposure to the sunshine as it can also put you at skin cancer risk. If you are unable to get sufficient amount of sun, then speak to your doctor to prescribe some vitamin D supplement to ensure your daily needs."
