Food supplements
As people age, their bone metabolism becomes worse, causing calcium loss, osteoporosis, and bone fractures, so they need to supplement calcium promptly.
The appropriate daily calcium intake for the elderly is 500-600 mg.
Milk, dairy products, soy milk, sesame, dried shrimp and other seafood are rich in calcium, which is easily absorbed by the body.
Calcium supplement
As the metabolic capacity of the elderly decreases, the ability to metabolize calcium also decreases.
During calcium supplementation, you must consult your doctor and pay attention to monitoring blood calcium and urine calcium levels to avoid over-supplementation.
When supplementing calcium, pay attention to whether the calcium tablet contains vitamin D. Vitamin D can promote the absorption of calcium ions, thereby improving the effectiveness of calcium supplementation.
Sunbathing
Exposure to sunlight and exercise can supplement calcium. There is a kind of dehydrocholesterol in human skin, after irradiation with ultraviolet rays, this substance is converted into vitamin D, then enters the body, slowly forming active vitamin D.
Active vitamin D can significantly improve the absorption rate of calcium, so vitamin D is a great helper in promoting calcium absorption.
