Mrs. Clark - How can people who are allergic to milk get adequate amounts of calcium?

tclark17 — 2016-09-21 15:42:58 UTC

Some people choose not to consume dairy products for ethical reasons, while others may have dairy allergies. Foods like kale, sardines (with the bones), salmon, tofu, chia seeds, sesame seeds and almonds are excellent sources of calcium for these individuals. Another good option is to look for foods that are calcium fortified. These are foods that have had calcium added to them during processing. Cereals, orange juice and even soy milk have calcium added to them so they can be a good source for those who can't eat, or simply don't enjoy dairy products.

What kind of stress do bones need to develop properly and grow strong?The stress that our bones need, especially at a younger age is being active.

If you want to be able to make “deposits” of bone tissue and reach your greatest possible peak bone mass, you need to get enough calcium, vitamin D, and physical activity. If we just lay in bed and waste time, our bones have a struggle developing stronger and properly. Being active is very important for younger kids who are still developing, and is why it is recommended and encouraged to make parents get their kids running and being in activities, such as a sport or even a walk around the neighborhood. Doing activities at a young age, helps a lot in the long run when you get older. If people do not take care of themselves now at a young age, they are at risk for Osteoporosis at an older age. Osteoporosis is a bone disease that occurs when the body loses too much bone, makes too little bone, or both. As a result, bones become weak and may break from a fall or, in serious cases, from sneezing or minor bumps.

What are new ways that researchers are finding to stop bone decline?

As people continue to grow older their bones will slowly become weaker, this is something cannot be prevented. One way to keep your bones strong and healthy is vitamin D. When you do not get enough vitamin D in your body, your body will take calcium from your bones. Another way that researchers have found to stop bone decline is exercise. As you exercise you increase your bone density, making your bones stronger. Most kids who do not exercise are more likely to get osteoporosis.

How does stress affect which genes are turned off or on in a bone cell?

The stress guides an enzyme called MSK which connects to a phosphate group that overrides the methyl group causing certain genes turning off or on.

What are ways you can keep your bones healthy to avoid pain and/or diseases later in life?

Bones are developed and built at a young age. They continue to grow and develop as a person gets older, but there are habits you can start young to help build stronger bones. Some bone diseases are genetically developed so a person can only take precautions to make it less severe, while people with good bone genetics are just helping their bones to be stronger and prevent diseases. Your bones need calcium and vitamin D to develop healthy bones. Along with intake of calcium, stay away from drinks with caffeine to avoid absorbing the calcium. Also, exercise regularly to prevent bones from weakening. If you keep your whole body healthy with these everyday habits, it will result with healthy bones too.

2016-09-21 16:15:18 UTC

As people age, people begin to start losing calcium. Women are more vulnerable to decrease in bone mass than men as they age which leads to osteoporosis. Women reach their bone peak at about age 18 while men at 20. Why women are more vulnerable? If women begin their periods at a later age than they're more vulnerable. If women had, had their ovaries removed than they're more vulnerable and you have an even higher risk for those who undergo menopause at a very early age.

Gabriela Gonzalez-Why is Calcium so important to the body?

pandaawesomegg — 2016-09-21 16:15:22 UTC

Calcium is important to the body because it is vital to the growth of the bones and teeth. Not only does it strengthen the bones and teeth, but it also plays a part in muscle contraction, sending messages throughout the body with nerves, and the release of hormones. During adolescence it is essential that the person has enough calcium in their body. If not the bones can become very weak. Since the body does not have enough supply of calcium the body will take it from the bones in order to ensure normal cell function. You can consume calcium from dairy products, vegetables, beans, etc.

Andrew Nowaya - What is the cause of osteoporosis? Can osteoporosis lead to arthritis?

74875 — 2016-09-21 16:15:38 UTC

Osteoporosis causes the bones to become for fragile and brittle when there is lack of vitamin C, changes in hormone levels, and loss of tissue. Since osteoporosis weakens the bones, does it also weaken the joints and can it lead to arthritis? Osteoporosis can’t directly cause arthritis but can cause osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis develops when there is a overuse of performing sports, doing certain things, or from carrying around body weight. Eventually, this will wear away the cartilage that supports (cushions) the bones from the joints. After this cartilage wears away there is bone to bone contact which is a very painful sensation.

Sierra Mote - Why are women’s bones more vulnerable than men's bones?

69130 — 2016-09-21 16:15:40 UTC

Everything depends on gender, recovery, treatment, and conditions. A male is more likely to fracture a finger or their hand, As for women they are more likely to tear a ligament in their knee or sprain an ankle. Women have a higher risk of osteoporosis and have more hip problems due to a bone-thinning problem. Men who also have that condition have more complications. Some complication can be pneumonia or systemic infections. Which can lead to death within a few months after surgery.

Jav- How can a person's bone recover spontaneously after they break it?

2016-09-21 16:15:54 UTC

When a person's bone breaks signals from the nervous system are sent to the brain and from there the brain reacts quickly to send back instructions to solve the problem. Different ages and different types of bone breakage can differ the time to recover and heal. Once your bone breaks blood immediately starts to clot the wound and specialized cells that fight infection and clean the fragments of the bone are called phagocytes. After it does this cells that are called chondroblasts form a soft structure called callus surrounds the fracture. After this a hard callus forms with new bone structure

What Can Cause Osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is caused by an imbalance between new bone formation and old bone resorption. The body can sometimes fail to form enough new bone or too much old bone may be come reabsorbed. or maybe both things can happen.

71684 — 2016-09-21 16:16:06 UTC

The types of medication for osteoporosis is fosamax, actonel,boniva, and zometa. Fosamax increases bone mass and prevents injuries mostly used for women because of menopause. Actonel it develops development in the bones that breaks down in the body. Boniva is used to treat/ prevent women after menopause. Zometa can treat myeloma cancer this can also help prevent and treat postmenopausal or whoever that takes steroid medicine.

1005143 — 2016-09-21 16:16:07 UTC

Osteoporosis is a bone disease that makes your bones weak and brittle. Osteoporosis can be caused from family inherit. For example if one of your parents have osteoporosis you are most likely at risk of osteoporosis as well. Osteoporosis can also be caused by your lifestyle. Drinking alcohol can put you at risk for osteoporosis because alcohol reduces the calcium in your bones. Anorexia can also put you at risk of osteoporosis because people who are anorexic have thin bones which makes them have less nutrients and calcium compared to someone who is heavier and healthy. Also certain medications can cause osteoporosis such as Glucocorticoids (corticosteroids). Twenty-six percent of people who took Glucocorticoids medication got diagnosed with osteoporosis three or more months later. Cancer treatments can also cause osteoporosis. Antiseizure or anticonvulsant medications can also put you at risk of osteoporosis.

Q-Does Osteoporosis cause height loss?

1003836 — 2016-09-21 22:34:10 UTC

Osteoporosis is a weakening of the bones through losing bone or making too little of it in the cell replacement process. This makes bones such as the vertebrae become weak and easy to fractures. These fractures can cause to spine to curve and become slightly shorter. Curvature or severe slouching due to spine damage is called kyphosis, a result of damage to a weakend spine.

Isabella Chavez- How are some bones able to renew themselves?

74350 — 2016-09-22 02:35:02 UTC

How some bones are able to heal by themselves is that your body stores minerals in your compact bone. Your bones are always changing, And that are called osteoclasts gets rid of some of the old bones and the cells that are called osteoclasts replace it with the new bone tissue and this is called bone remodeling. There is also this other cell that is called chondroblast and this forms new cartilage. And this causes bone remodeling to replace the old bone tissue with new tissue during the months.

- Our body needs calcium for example our bones, teeth, our tissues, blood and even our muscles. Calcium is stored in our bones and teeth to create hardness. Also when the body needs to release calcium into the blood it can do so. We can also lose calcium within aging, once we start aging our bodies estrogen levels have went down which causes the calcium levels to go down with the estrogen levels.

Jonathan Oregon -What is and what happens when one has osteoporosis?

1015996 — 2016-09-22 03:44:54 UTC

Osteoporosis is a body condition which happens during aging. This affects our bones which cause our bones to become weak and fragile or easy to break. The reason is because once a person hits the age of 35 our body starts to lose bone material. Another example is that the bones start to become thin and weak. Some things that prevent osteoporosis from beginning early are to stop smoking, take in calcium, exercise, and more. With osteoporosis a simple slip or fall can lead to a bone fracture or a bone broken.

What exactly is Osteoporosis, and how can it affect and you, and tips on how to avoid it. Osteoporosis is a common bone disease that happens to over 54 million Americans, the cause of Osteoporosis is when someone over the age of 50 has fallen down and has broken a bone or landed on their hip. After this fall Osteoporosis can take a toll on your life by making your bones very weak and have less density which leads to bones that are highly fragile and a higher chance of breaking. Osteoporosis limits someone’s mobility so assistance maybe needed if the case is bad, in most cases people with Osteoporosis suffer from depression. Osteoporosis is very scary because you can never tell when your bones are weakening, but there are many ways to prevent it. Some ways to prevent is by having a healthy lifestyle exercising and having a diet full of calcium and vitamin D also stay away from excessive drinking or smoking.

Aaliyah Dennis-What happens to a female during menopause that makes them more acceptable to Osteoporosis, than males or those that have not yet gone through menopause?

85992 — 2016-09-22 04:32:58 UTC

Women are more at risk of developing bone loss or weakness due to many different reasons. These causes consists of naturally thinner/weaker bones than those of the opposite sex. When a female reaches a certain age, their hormonal levels and menstruation come to a halt, which is referred to as menopause. There is a relation between menopause and Osteoporosis because when a women goes through menopause, there is a sudden change in the amount of estrogen their body is now producing. Naturally women are built with more estrogen than men, so when there is a drastic change in the amount being produced by their bodies, the result is being more likely to experience osteoporosis, during this time.

How does exercise increase bone strength?

Exercising causes new bone tissue made of calcium, collagen, phosphorus salts, and water to form, and this makes bones stronger. Exercises like walking, jogging, running, anything that are mechanical forces help build this strength in bones.Staying active helps you keep you on your feet so you could hold your own body weight. Strong bones help do this. Exercising and being active also helps keep osteoporosis in check by the same idea of just exercising.

The changes a women goes through during menopause creates a huge bone loss. Researchers also believe that Estrogen (Female sex hormone) may also be a reason why there is bone loss after menopause, but Progesterone (hormone) levels also affect the bone building cells. It disrupts the way bones are supposed to repair. Progesterone also affects the natural way bones are supposed to grow. For women to prevent bone loss before their menopause they are told to take vitamins to get bone protein.

Why is calcium so important?
- Calcium is very important because it results in you having strong bones. It is also one of the body's most important mineral. It plays a big part in muscle contractions sending messages throughout the nerves and the discharge of hormones. With all the cells in our body almost every single one uses calcium in some type of way. Our bones hold calcium storing it to help support the human body. Without calcium your bones get weak which increases the risk of fractures. Not having strong bones results in having osteoporosis, in which bones become brittle. Calcium also helps support the growing of teeth. Overall calcium is the main source that needs to be contained in the bones to function the human body normally.

Osteoporosis is caused when there is an imbalanced between a new bone and an old bone.
The body sometimes cannot form new bones or it may be difficult too reasorb old bones. Something to prevent osteoporosis can be humans taking in calcium and phosphate. If a person broke a bone before or had any problems with bones in the past, it is faster for someone to get osteoporosis. Women are most likely to get this disease because of their smaller bones and frame of the body.
