OUR BIG OLD SMILING HEADS
THERE.
CLICK LIKE AND LEAVE A COMMENT.
WE WOULD LOVE TO SAY HI TO YOU.
MOST PEOPLE THINK OF
OSTEOPOROSIS AS AN OLDER
PERSON'S ISSUE BUT IN REALITY
IT'S A YOUNGER PERSON'S CONCERN
THAT COULD SHOW UP LATER IN
LIFE.
NUTRITIONIST SUE MORRIS
GIVES US WAYS TO BUILD STRONG
BONES THAT CAN LAST A LIFETIME.
THANK YOU FOR COMING IN.
THANK YOU.
THIS IS IMPORTANT, YOU THINK
I DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT OZO
PROSE NOW BUT YOU SAY NO --
OSTEOPOROSIS NOW BUT YOU SHOULD
AND SHOULD START VERY YOUNG.
IF YOU THINK OF YOUR BONES
AS A BANK YOU CAN MAKE DEPOSITS
ALL THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE.
BUT YOU CAN ACTUALLY BUILD BONE
STRENGTH UP UNTIL ABOUT THE AGE
OF 25.
AFTER THAT YOU REALLY ARE JUST
KEEPING UP WITH WITHDRAWALS.
SO YOUR BODY IS CONSTANT LOW
CHANGELY CHANGING OUT,
REMODELING THE BONES AND AFTER
10 YEARS YOUR SKELETON
LITERALLY CHANGES WITH NEW BONE
AND OLD BONE, UNTIL AGE 25.
BUILD THAT BONE STRENGTH TO
LAST AFTER AGE 25, YOU'RE JUST
KEEPING UP WITH THE LOSSES.
ON WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO EAT.
THE FIRST THING TO EAT?
YOU THINK OF WHAT NUTRIENT?
CALCIUM.
GOT TO GET IT FROM MILK?
EXACTLY.
IF YOU'RE NOT -- DAIRY IS YOUR
CALCIUM SOURCE BUT IF YOU'RE
NOT DOING DAIRY WHICH MANY
DON'T THERE ARE OTHER FOODS
THAT HAVE CALCIUM.
DARK GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES ARE
GREAT, EDEMAME, SARDINES.
BLACK EYED PEACE BUT THERE ARE
FOODS, FORTIFIED FOODS AND
STUFF THAT HAVE CALCIUM IN
THEM.
IT'S SUPER IMPORTANT.
IT'S NOT JUST CALCIUM.
THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER
NUTRIENTS IMPORTANT FOR BONES,
POSASSUM, MAGNESIUM, BORON.
THERE ARE -- PROTEIN --
THERE'S OTHER THINGS SO DON'T
THINK OF IT JUST AS A CALCIUM
ISSUE.
JUST EAT LOTS OF OTHER
DIFFERENT FOODS BECAUSE IT
DOESN'T PLAY BY ITSELF IN YOUR
BONES.
GOOD TO KNOW.
ONE THING I THINK THAT IS
MOST INTERESTING, WE'VE MOVED
TO THIS HIGH PROTEIN TYPE DIET.
EVERYONE WANTS A LOT OF
PROTEIN.
THERE'S THIS ACID-BASED BALANCE
IN YOUR BODY.
PROTEIN SORT OF TURNS INSIDE
YOUR BODY A MORE ACIDIC
ENVIRONMENT SO FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES SORT OF EASE OUT
THAT ACID SO IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT EVEN THOUGH YOU WOULD
NOT THINK OF FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES --
BEING GOOD FOR BONES?
YEAH.
BUT THEY ARE BECAUSE IF YOU
HAVE PROTEIN IT MAKES AN ACIDIC
ENVIRONMENT AND CALCIUM IS
LEACHED OUT OF THE BONES IF
YOU'RE NOT GETTING ENOUGH
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
YOU NEED THAT BALANCE.
YOU NEED PROTEIN FOR BONES
BUT YOU NEED FRUITS VEGETABLES
TO EASE UP THE FACILITY.
YOU ALWAYS TELL US WHAT NOT
DO DO.
I'M NOT A DEBBIE DOWNER BUT
A HIGH SALT DIET IS BAD FOR THE
BONES.
I SEE PIZZA HERE.
IT'S A MAJOR CONSIDERATION.
TOO MUCH SODIUM NOT SO GREAT,
TOO MUCH ALCOHOL NOT SO GREAT,
TOO MUCH PROTEIN NOT SO GREAT.
OTHERWISE IT'S A LOVELY PRODUCE
FILLED DIET WITH CALCIUM IN IT.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT
SUPPLEMENTS FOR PEOPLE THAT
THINK THEY DON'T GET ENOUGH
CALCIUM?
SUPPLEMENTS CAN WORK.
IT'S JUST, AGAIN TOO, MUCH.
YOUR BODY WILL ONLY HANDLE 500
MILLIYAMS OF CALCIUM IN A
SUPPLEMENT.
YOU CAN SEE SUPPLEMENTS
SOMETIMES THAT OFFER WAY MORE.
IT'S A WASTE OF MONEY.
NOT GOOD FOR YOUR BODY, TOO
MUCH CALCIUM BECAUSE IT'S HARD
ON THE HEART, KIDNEY STONES.
JUST -- ACTUALLY DEMENTIA JUST
CAME OUT WITH TOO MUCH CALCIUM
IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO A
CARRIE UNDERWOOD AND KEENLY
URBAN "THE FIGHTER."
6:42.
A OF LIVE LOOK OUTSIDE ON THIS
MONDAY MORNING.
MOST PEOPLE THINK OF
OSTEOPOROSIS AS A OLDER
PERSON'S ISSUE BUT IN REALITY
IT'S A YOUNGER CONCERN THAT
COULD SHOW UP LATER IN LIFE.
SUE MOORES, OUR KNEW
NUTRITIONIST HAS MORE
INFORMATION.
WE WANT TO BE PREVENTIVE WHEN
IT COMES TO HEALTH AND
OSTEOPOROSIS.
WE NEED TO ACT VERY YOUNG.
ACTUALLY 90% OF A PERSON'S
BONE DENSITY TO LAST THEM A
LIFETIME HAPPENS BY THE AGE OF
18.
WOW.
YEAH.
SO FARTHER GETTING THAT
CALCIUM EARLY.
CALCIUM AND MORE.
BONES ARE CONSTANTLY
REMODELING, NEW BONE GOING IN
TISSUE, OLD BONE GOING UP.
UP UNTIL THE AGE OF 25 YOU CAN
BANK ALL OF THAT GOOD STUFF FOR
STRONG BONES AND AFTER THAT
YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO KEEP UP
WITH BONE TISSUE THAT IS
GETTING LOST.
IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE WE
ALL HAVE H OUR MOMS TELL TO US
DRINK LOTS OF MILK.
FOR STRONG BONES.
YOU'RE SAYING THAT IT'S MORE
THAN JUST CALCIUM.
RIGHT.
CALCIUM IS SUPER IMPORTANT.
THAT IS THE MAIN MINERAL THAT
IS IN YOUR BONES.
DAIRY FOODS ARE GREAT BUT IF
YOU DON'T DO DAIRY THERE ARE
OTHER FOODS THAT HAVE CALCIUM.
DARK GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES ARE
GREAT, EDEMAME AND SOME BEANS.
AND CALCIUM FORTIFIED PRODUCTS
TOO LIKE CEREALS AND JUICES.
IF YOU BUY A JUICE OR BEVERAGE
YOU NEED TO SHAKE IT BECAUSE
THE CALCIUM SETTLES DOWN.
YOU WANT TO EVEN IT OUT.
YES.
THERE ARE OTHER FOODS THAT HAVE
OTHER NUTRIENTS THAT ARE
IMPORTANT FOR BONES.
THERE'S THE POTASSIUM AND
VITAMIN K -- I THINK PEOPLE
KNOW ABOUT VITAMIN D, THINK OF
OTHER FOODS BEYOND CALCIUM AS
BEING HELPFUL TO BUILD THAT
STRONG BONE.
SO NUTS AND SEEDS ARE GREAT.
LEAFY GREENS WE TALKED ABOUT.
PROTEIN IMPORTANT FOR BUILDING
STRONG BONES BUT INTERESTINGLY
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES ARE
REALLY IMPORTANT.
YOU WOULD NOT THINK OF THAT
NORMALLY WHEN YOU WANT BONE
HEALTH.
FRUITS AND VEGGIES.
THAT IS BECAUSE WE ARE SO
INTERESTED IN PROTEIN RIGHT
NOW.
IN TERMS OF GETTING A LOT IN
BUT PROTEIN SORT OF TURNS THE
ENVIRONMENT INSIDE YOUR BODY
MORE ACIDIC.
IF YOU'RE HAVING A LOT OF
PROTEIN THAT IS MAKING IT MORE
ACIDIC, WHICH LEACHES CALCIUM
OUT OF THE BONES TO BALANCE
THAT ACIDITY IN THE BODY.
IF YOU HAVE FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES THAT DOES THAT.
SO THEY HAVE A MORE, SORT OF
BASE OR ALKALAI, GETTING TO THE
WEEDS ON SCIENCE BUT IT'S
IMPORTANT TO HAVE FRUITS ANDAGE
TABLES TO BALANCE OUT ACIDITY
TO YOU DON'T LEACH CALCIUM FROM
YOUR BONES.
WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT WHAT
NOT TO EAT.
THERE ARE FOODS YOU EAT THAT
ARE ACTUALLY BAD FOR YOUR
BONES?
RIGHT.
ALCOHOL TOO MUCH IS HARD ON THE
BONES.
IT'S NOT GOOD FOR BONE
STRENGTH.
I THINK PROBABLY THE ONE THAT
IS MOST COMMON IS SODIUM.
WE EAT MORE SODIUM THAN WE
SHOULD IN OUR DIETS.
PEOPLE PARTICULARLY THAT FOCUS
ON HIGHLY PROCESSED FOODS, SO I
HAVE PIZZA HERE BECAUSE IT'S A
MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR OF SODIUM BUT
TOO MUCH SODIUM LEACHES CALCIUM
FROM THE BONES SO THAT IS NOT
SO GREAT.
CALCIUM SUPPLEMENTS OK?
THEY ARE OK BUT LOOK FOR
ONES THAT DON'T GIVE YOU MORE
THAN 500 MILLIE GRAMS IN A
SUPPLEMENT BECAUSE YOUR BODY
WON'T ABSORB MORE THAN 500 AND
TOO MUCH KALSZUM IS ACTUALLY
HARD FOR OTHER HEALTH ISSUES.
CALCIUM.
IF YOU'RE DOING A SUPPLEMENT
THINK OF ALL YOU EAT AND NOT
MORE THAN 500.
IT'S A WASTE OF MONEY TOO.
YES.
