<\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nAs we grow older, our once strong\u00a0bones,\u00a0weaken.\u00a0The bone density reduces, and the degenerative effect of age causes many problems\u00a0to\u00a0our skeletal system. Even growing kids need to take in sufficient amounts of calcium for good bone health and Vitamin D for more efficient absorption of calcium in the body. Low calcium in the bones can lead to rickets in children and\u00a0osteoporosis\u00a0in older people.\u00a0Therefore, it is important to\u00a0consume a\u00a0calcium-rich\u00a0diet\u00a0to\u00a0keep your bones healthy 1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this blog,\u00a0we will\u00a0discuss\u00a0\u00a0the\u00a0factors affecting\u00a0bone health\u00a0and suggest some\u00a0calcium-rich\u00a0foods\u00a0\u00a0that\u00a0can\u00a0help keep bones strong.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A number of\u00a0factors can affect bone health,\u00a0such as 3<\/a><\/sup>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lack of calcium in your diet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
People who are physically inactive have a higher risk of osteoporosis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Regular use of tobacco and alcohol may increase the risk of osteoporosis.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Women\u00a0are at\u00a0a\u00a0greater risk of osteoporosis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
You are\u00a0at\u00a0\u00a0a\u00a0greater\u00a0risk of\u00a0developing\u00a0osteoporosis if you have\u00a0a\u00a0\u00a0family\u00a0history\u00a0of the condition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Medical\u00a0disorders\u00a0like rheumatoid\u00a0arthritis, gastrointestinal disorders\u00a0etc\u00a0and certain medications can lead to bone damage as well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Hormonal changes such as low levels of estrogen (as in postmenopausal women) or low levels of testosterone in men can lead to bone loss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Women, particularly after menopause, are more prone to bone loss, making adequate calcium intake especially important. Drumstick leaves (Moringa<\/a> oleifera<\/em>) are a good source of calcium, along with other nutrients such as potassium, beta-carotene, and vitamin C. While current evidence on their direct effects on bone health is limited, including drumstick leaves in a balanced diet may help support overall bone health ^{12<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n}Dr. Siddharth Gupta, B.A.M.S, M.D (Ayu)<\/strong><\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

While the daily requirement of calcium varies based on needs,\u00a0most adults need around\u00a01,000 mg\u00a0of calcium daily, while women over 50 and men over 70\u00a0generally require\u00a01,200 mg 4<\/a><\/sup>.\u00a0The requirement is\u00a0also\u00a0higher\u00a0in children and pregnant women.\u00a0<\/p>
