Height: Can be Reduced?

Two out of five Indonesian people at risk
of osteoporosis. This happens
because most Indonesian
women lack calcium 50 percent
each day. Than 1,000 milligrams
of daily calcium requirement, most Indonesian women
consume only 270-500
milligrams of calcium every day.
Similarly, findings from
TROPMED SEAMEO Regional
Center for Community Nutrition, University of
Indonesia, and the University
of Otago, New Zealand. Bone mass reaches its peak at
age 25-30 years. After that
will be a decline in bone mass
dramatically. Actually, as long
as it also would have
regenerated bone. However, if you do not get enough calcium
intake, this regeneration will
not happen balanced. That's
when the risk of osteoporosis
increases. The condition of bone loss is
also not only occur in the
elderly, you know. Young
people today are also at risk
of contracting this disease,
due to a less healthy lifestyle. You will not like this condition,
because osteoporosis causes
the body bent, broken bones,
and reduction in height. "When the bone is porous,
while the compression occurs
in the vertebrae, the bones
could finally flattened. That's
what ultimately makes height
is reduced," said Dr. Tria Rosemiarti, Medical & PR
Manager PT Fonterra Brands

sufferers typically experience
pain in the spine, as well as hip
and wrist. Women who like
wearing high heels will also feel
the pain in the ankle. However, according to Tria's
never too late to fight this
disease. As soon as you realize
this condition, make changes in
lifestyle. Meet the needs
calcium, exercise, and implement an active lifestyle.
