Eating one bone forming elements are important, namely calcium, like open a deposit. We kept it since childhood and adolescence as security in old age. So, before regret, tabunglah calcium early.
Bone fragility and pain caused a big problem in this country. The Ministry of Health noted, the prevalence of osteopenia (early osteoporosis) in Indonesia amounted to 41.7 percent. That means two out of five of Indonesia's population at risk of osteoporosis.
The figure was higher than the prevalence of the world, which is one of three people at risk of osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is a systemic disease low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue micro building, which is characterized among other things by fragility, vulnerability to fractures.
Osteoporosis is a common disorder of bone metabolism in adults. Lately, there are many studies that looked at the root of the problem of osteoporosis found in childhood. Bones grow and reached its peak during adulthood.
Childhood is a critical period of bone development. 45 percent of bone mass growth occurs at the age of 0-10 years. At that time, the bone grows lengthwise. As a teenager, about 45 percent of adult bone mass is formed up to before the age of 18 years.
\ "As adults, the development of bone mass continues until the age of 30 years \" said a specialist orthopedic and traumatology of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia, Lukman Shebubakar, in a media event workshop titled \ "The importance Fill Calcium Intake on School Age to Optimize Growth in Children \" some time ago.
For men, a longer period of bone development. While the span of bone growth in women more quickly.
In contrast, in the case of old age the bones release velocity exceeds the speed of bone production. Rapid bone loss is influenced gender, lifestyle, genetic and hormonal status.
In women who give birth and menopause, bones release more going on. Women begin to lose calcium from their bones begin around the age of 40 years and men starting at age 60 years.
The main builder
Primary prevention of osteoporosis is to build maximum bone density during childhood and adolescence. Bone growth is influenced by the amount of calcium, phosphorus, and vitamins, especially vitamin D is involved in calcium absorption. Another factor is hormonal balance.
Calcium is the main mineral of bone-forming. The mineral also regulates the contraction and relaxation of muscles, is involved in nerve transmission, helps blood clotting and regulate the body's hormones and growth factors. The amount of calcium around 2 percent of body weight. 99 percent is stored in the bones and 1 percent in body fluids.
When there is a shortage of calcium, the body will take it from the bones. \ "Every day we have certainly lost as much as 170 mg of calcium lost in the process of secretion through sweat and urine. Lack of calcium intake in the age of children, adolescents, and adults will be felt upon entering old age \" said Lukman.
Standardization Section Head Food Consumption Development Directorate of Community Nutrition Ministry of Health and an expert nutrition, Iip Syaiful, say, the nutritional adequacy rate set by the Ministry of Health for children aged 7-9 years is 600 mg of calcium per day and for children aged 10-12 years increased to 1,000 mg per day. It needs more than doubled compared with the age of 4-6 years, ie 500 mg of calcium per day.
The problem, he said, one of the problems of nutrition in school-age children is deficiency of certain substances, including calcium.
When entering the age of six, children begin to want to show the ability to make choices on food and see the many food choices outside the home. Children begin no longer easily arranged. Milk also began rarely consumed.
Calcium absorption is also a problem when there is deficiency of various other substances. He pointed out, lack of vitamin D into the active form may affect the absorption of calcium. Oxalic acid and phytic acid can also inhibit the absorption of calcium.
Excessive protein intake also causes calcium is excreted through the urine. So is the mental and physical stress reduces the absorption of minerals. \ "Basically, every type of food has a role
in balancing the input of nutrients daily. Consumption of food should be diverse \ "said Iip.
To improve bone health, the child's body activities should also be considered. Unfortunately, children are also increasingly limited movement, especially in big cities. More children move indoors and less active. In fact, the exercise effect on bone development.
Lukman said, some exercises to strengthen bones simplest is walking, jogging, climbing stairs, and jumping rope. Sports games, such as tennis, basketball, soccer, and volleyball, also good for bones. Long workout about 30 minutes with a frequency of more than three times in one week. For children, it can be adapted to the exercise habits of children playing. Congratulations to play while saving calcium.
