Saving Calcium for Bone and Dental Health

I thought of you when you busy for a visit to the doctor's bones and teeth? What is clear, not only consumed time, money too much exhausted for that. Why you did not anticipate as early as possible?

Perhaps you do not realize, that throughout his life, humans need calcium. In the body, calcium is stored in bones and teeth as much as 99%, and only 1% is stored in the blood and fat tissue.

Calcium is needed for the formation and growth of bones and teeth from the fetus. Calcium may also ease premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in adolescents. British Journal of Medicine reported that pregnant women who receive calcium supplements during pregnancy will give birth to children who are protected from hypertension. This means the supply of calcium must be met each day in sufficient quantities. If not, then the lack of calcium will be drawn from the existing reserves of calcium in bone. And if this is ongoing, strong bones and teeth can be threatened shortage of calcium.

In addition to bone loss (osteoporosis) come early, too easy brittle teeth. Children who get less calcium in sufficient quantities will experience health problems, such as muscle cramps, leg bones are bent due to not able to hold his weight.

For this reason, calcium investments must be made as early as possible, even in the womb, given the growth of bones have been commenced in the form of a fetus. For calcium reserves that are used currently comes from the results of our investments 10-20 years ago. Reserve from which to later old age, if not saved from now?

Soon after birth until age 10-12 years, calcium accretion rate is relatively constant. At the age of adolescence, skeletal bone growth runs so fast, so do not be surprised if growth becomes rapid teen body.

Bone growth continues until age 17-20 years, but the relative accretion rate decreases, and at the age of 30 years to reach peak bone mass. At this age, skeletal bones do not grow long again.

Treat Ear To Stay Healthy

What to do if your ears take in a foreign object? Habits we often scrape the ears was not a good habit. Moreover probe by using cotton ear buds. According to some experts, scraping the inside of his ears with cotton buds will make it increasingly pushed dirt into. Dirt, even trapped in a hollow ear. As a result, the dirt can not get out himself and the sediment in the ear canal will harden and petrified.

Here are some foreign objects into the ear often and handling can be done first:

  1. Water
    Often times when we are excited bathing, swimming and wash your hair, making the water into the ear. If the ear is clean, the water can get out by itself. But if in our ears there is dirt, water it can make other objects around the water itself expands and becomes trapped in it. Please visit ENT doctor to clean up the existing ear.
  2. Cotton buds
    Cotton buds are not medically recommended to clean the ears. In addition to cotton is left in the ear, the other danger is that it can pierce the lining of the drum when not in use it cautiously.
  3. Small objects
    Young children often do not accidentally put something in his ear. For example, a toy bead. If there is, immediately take it to the ENT doctor. Do not try it out myself, because it could cause new problems. In the practice, physicians have a special tool to remove the object.
  4. Insects
    When the ear to take in the ant, means there is something wrong with the inner ear. In principle, the ears have their own mechanisms that can inhibit an animal like an ant to not go into.

How to Maintain Cleaning Ears:

  2. Use to chewing food well, because chewing is the body's natural mechanism to remove debris from the ear.
