7 thoughts on “why does calcium and vitamin D prevent Osteoporosis?”
Because the bones need calcium and vitamin D to remain strong and healthy. By adding that to your system, you are putting in what cannot be processed or is lost with age or with activity.
IT doesnt PREVENT it, it HELPS PREVENT it.
Well your body needs calcium and vitamin D to function, but when there is not enough supplied from nutrients in food, the body begins to take it from other places, such as bones and teeth. Therefore, taking calcium and vitamin D prevent the body from robbing itself of those vitamins from the bones and teeth.
Bones need proteins and calcium. Both are incorporated by the bones, if active Vit. D3 is there (sun is necessary). Fat may take away those substances.
These things help prevent Osteoporosis because a LACK of vitamin D and calcium leak to weaker bones. Osteoporosis is essentially where the bones are weaker. Weight bearing can affect osteoporosis because you may put less weight on weaker bones that are afflicted with the disease, rather than putting too much force on the weak bones. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteoporosis has full in-depth information.
It helps to build bone mass and helps to make your bones stronger. It is not a one hundred percent perfect cure but it is a great help!
You have had some good answers on vitamin D etc. It is important to get some exposure to sunshine and especially in children and old people. Children can develop rickets with a Vitamin D shortage and old people should have some exposure even if it is only bare arms on a warm and sunny day.
Some clothes that cover too much of the body as used by female muslims can be a disadvantage in the less sunnier climate of the UK.
Of course you must pay due regard to the length of time of exposure because of skin cancer risk and too much drying of the skin. You must avoid sunburn.
