Calcium tablets can be supplemented for a long time, so the absorption capacity of the elderly will become worse and worse, and the outflow of calcium will become larger and larger. Therefore, for the elderly, osteoporosis is the most likely thing to happen, so calcium supplements should pay special attention. In the reference intake of nutrients in China, it is suggested that everyone should take 800mg of calcium every day, but most people can't reach this amount. In fact, it is good to make up for it every day.

But for the elderly, it is not enough to simply supplement calcium and zinc to prevent osteoporosis. Because the health of human bones is not only related to calcium, calcium must be deposited on collagen when it enters the body, so collagen must have enough vitamins such as protein and vitamin C. In addition, the absorption and utilization rate of calcium is also affected by vitamin D, so it is necessary to bask in the sun frequently or supplement complex vitamins and minerals to get enough vitamin D and supplement calcium better.

In addition, the elderly who often don't take calcium supplements should also pay attention to the habit of physical exercise, such as Tai Ji Chuan/jogging/swimming or cycling. According to their own situation, they should gradually increase some energetic exercises, because the increase of muscle proportion will also help protect human bones. In addition, drinking a certain amount of water every day can better prevent constipation. Besides adding some helpful calcium, the diet should also be adjusted. For example, beans/milk/raw eggs/fish are also rich in calcium, so it is best to use a variety of ingredients every day, which not only supplements calcium, but also makes its digestion, absorption and utilization more efficient.

Exercise more: As we all know, proper exercise can not only strengthen the body, but also exercise muscles to prevent muscle atrophy, thus improving the agility of the human body. Proper exercise can also improve the body's absorption of calcium, thus reducing the loss of calcium, better protecting the function of bone tissue, promoting blood circulation and improving human metabolism. In addition, exercise can also release bad emotions, make people feel happy and benefit their physical and mental health. Moreover, exercise is also a social activity for the elderly, so you can exercise more. It should be noted that some drugs may affect bone metabolism. For some people who need to take medicine for a long time, they should take more calcium every day to better avoid osteoporosis.
