CALCIUM, vitamin D Cut Hip Breaks, research says——
A FRACTURED HIP—— ONE OF THE MOST COMMON BONE BREAKS EXPERIENCED BY THE
ELDERLY - SENDS MORE THAN 300,000 PEOPLE 65 AND OLDER TO THE HOSPITAL EACH YEAR, ACCORDING TO THE U.S. CENTER FOR DISEASE
AND PREVENTION.
BUT NEW RESEARCH SUGGESTS THAT TAKING BOTH CALCIUM AND
VITAMIN D SUPPLEMENTS COULD TRIM THAT NUMBER.
ANALYZING DATA FROM 17 STUDIES, INVOLVING NEARLY 84,000
PEOPLE, MOST IN THEIR UPPER 60s OR OLDER, RESEARCHERS FOUND THAT THOSE TAKING BOTH SUPPLEMENTS WERE ABOUT 16% LESS
LIKELY TO BREAK A HIP AND 6% LESS LIKELY TO BREAK ANY BONE.
BY COMPARISON, NO PROTECTION FROM BONE BREAKS OF ANY SORT WAS FOUND FOR THOSE WHO TOOK ONLY VITAMIN D, ACCORDING TOTHE RESEARCH PUBLISHED IN THE JOURNAL JAMA NETWORK OPEN.
LONG BILLED AS ESSENTIAL FOR HEALTHY BONES, CALCIUM AND
VITAMIN D WORK TOGETHER.
CALCIUM IS A KEY NUTRIENT FOR BUILDING STRONG, DENSE BONES, AND PROTECTING THEM FROM THE WEAKENING EFFECTS OF
OSTEOPOROSIS.
BUT THE BODY NEEDS VITAMIN D TO ABSORB CALCIUM.
GOOD SOURCES OF CALCIUM INCLUDE MILK, CHEESE, YOGURT,
BROCCOLI, CABBAGE, LEAFY GREENS, AND FOOD AND DRINK FORTIFIED WITH CALCIUM, SUCH AS CEREALS, AND ORANGE JUICE.
FOR MOST PEOPLE, SUNLIGHT IS THE MAIN SOURCE OF VITAMIN D. IT’S NATURALLY PRESENT IN ONLY A FEW FOODS - EGG YOLKS, AND FATTY FISH, FOR INSTANCE, ASA WELL AS MILK FORTIFIED WITH VITAMIN D.

………………..
NOW TO GIVE YOU MY LIFE STORY CONCERNING THIS.
I BECAME VERY INTERESTED IN HEALTH AND STRENGTH AS A YOUNG TEENAGE. I THANK MY DAD FOR ENCOURAGING ME TO SEND FOR
THE “HEALTH AND STRENGTH” COURSE BY THE THEN FAMOUS
STRONG BODY-BUILT CHARLES ALTAS [GO ON THE INTERNET AND SEE
AND READ ALL ABOUT HIM; HIS COURSE IS STILL BEING PUBLISHED]. ATLAS WAS BIG ON THE CORRECT DIET EATING; BIG ON ORGANIC
MILK AS RAW AS YOU CAN GET. OF COURSE, CHEESE, FISH, EGGS, ORGANIC BEEF, NUTS OF ALL KINDS, FRUITS AND VEGIES OF ALL KINDS,AND NATURAL SWEETS LIKE DATES, PRUNES, NATURAL HONEY,
APRICOTS ETC. AND YES BACK IN THE 1950s WHEN I WAS A TEEN,
LOTS AND LOTS OF SUNSHINE.
THAT WAY OF LIVING I HAVE LIVED FROM A YOUNG TEEN TO MY
NOW 77 YEARS OF LIFE.
PLENTY OF CALCIUM AND VITAMIN D I HAVE HAD ALL THOSE
DECADES.
I GREW UP PLAYING FOOTBALL [SOCCER TO YOU IN NORTH
AMERICA] AND CRICKET. BOTH GAMES WHERE YOU ARE RUNNING
AND TUMBLING, UP AND DOWN FROM THE GROUND. IN ALL THOSE
ACROBATICS IN THOSE TWO SPORTS, I NEVER BROKE A BONE,
NOT ONCE.
COMING NOW TO WHEN I WAS 63.
I BOUGHT MY DREAM HORSE “FINAL TOUCH” WHEN I WAS 62 AND
SHE WAS 5. I RENAMED HER “GOLDIE” - SHE’S A DARK GOLD PALOMINO QUARTER HORSE.
I BOUGHT AN AUSTRALIAN SADDLE, SUPER COMFORTABLE TO RIDE
IN, BUT MADE ONE HUGE MISTAKE—— IT DID NOT FIT HER.
WE WERE OUT ON A DIRT/CLAY ROAD ON THE RANCH, IN THE
MIDDLE OF A BLAZINGLY HOT SUMMER — 90s F.
THE SADDLE SLIPPED—— I CAME OFF AND LANDED ON MY LEFT HIP ONTO THAT BONE HARD ROAD—— THE PAIN WAS EXCRUCIATING—— I THOUGHT I’D SMASHED MY HIP TO PEICES AND SOMEONE WOULD
NEEDS HAVE TO CALL THE AMBULANCE—— SURELY I THOUGHT I HAD A BROKEN HIP!
TO MY AMAZEMENT, AFTER A MINUTE OR SO, I COULD STAND AND
ACTUALLY WALK. GETTING BACK TO THE RANCH BARN, THERE WERE BRUSES-- BLUE AND BLACK, BUT NO BROKEN HIP. IT WAS 4 DAYS OF
COLD AND HOT CLOTHS ON MY HIP, AND I WAS JUST FINE!
I WAS 63—— AND I KNOW IT WAS ALL THE DECADES FROM AN EARLY TEEN OF
GETTING REGULARLY CALCIUM AND VITAMIN D IN MY DAILY DIET,
THAT PROVED CALCIUM AND VITAMIN D DID INDEED GIVE ME SUPER STRONG AND DENSE BONES, AS WELL AS THE INGREDIENT OF
REGULAR EXERCISE.
SO I HAVE PROVED IT IS ABSOLUTELY A FACT THAT EVERYTHING
ELSE BEING NORMAL, CALCIUM AND VITAMIN D DO GIVE YOU
STRONG BONES AND A STRONG PAIR OF HIPS.
SO GO AT IT—— MAKE SURE YOU GET PLANTY OF BOTH CALCIUM AND VITAMIN D.
