weakness could increase my risk of developing osteoporosis later in life due to an insufficient intake of milk, which is a major source of calcium and vitamin D. “In order to improve my intake of dairy products, I could eat one waffle in the morning, one cup of tofu in the afternoon, and drink one cup of milk each night before bed, these are all major sources of calcium.” “A strength that I noticed was that the total saturated fat was below the ranges that The Dietary Reference Intake (DRI). My…

bone breakdown, which can cause bones to become weaker and more fragile. Many people with hyperthyroidism develop osteoporosis. Not all bones respond to PTH in the same way. Some develop abnormal areas where the bone is very soft and has almost no calcium in it. This…

Osteoporosis affects both genders and this is a bone disease. It is a condition in which bones become fragile and brittle. It occurs when the body loses a lot of bone, makes little bone, or both. Bones become weak and makes it easy for the bones to break from a fall (What is Osteoporosis and What Causes It). About 68% out of 44 million people at risk for this bone disease are women (Why Osteoporosis is More Common in Women). Osteoporosis is called a silent disease because a person can’t feel…

Bones help animals move, shape and support for an animal’s body. Bones are made up of tissues that continue to grow throughout the animal’s lifetime. But, as an animal gets older the body adds new bone quicker than getting rid of the old. With growth, an animal can run into many issues, one being bone disorders. Bone disorders can affect the growth of a healthy bone, can cause infection, and injure the animal. Bone disorders can be treated with nutritional treatments to help the bone or bones…

MyPlate is a dietary recommendation implemented by the US department of agriculture in 2011. It aims to educate us on what a healthy diet should be, but oddly, water isn’t included in that diet. Parents everywhere obviously know that their kids need to drink enough water, but are they aware of how much that should be? It is essential that parents understand the recommended water consumption for the sake of their children. The Harvard Healthy eating plate encourages consumers to drink water,…

in bone formation. Another bone cell, osteoclasts, is involved in maintenance of calcium and other minerals within the bone. The life of bone is fluid and varying and is constantly refashioned on the basis of one main factor—levels of calcium in the blood. Calcium levels are kept in homeostasis due to the works of several hormones that include parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, and vitamin D. When low levels of calcium presents in the blood, parathyroid hormone is released from parathyroid glands…

Osteoporosis is a disease of the skeletal system that is often thought to be just a disease of postmenopausal women. Men are carriers of the disease and account for 25 to 30 percent of all hip fractures because of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is on the rise in America and seems to be on a scaling upward trend without signs of slowing. Recently in the New England Journal of Medicine, doctors are performing experiments with the drug alendronate to increase bone density. In this study 241 men, ages…

Calcium in the human body has role of preserving or storing calcium supply so as to meet the body metabolic processes in cases of calcium deficiency. In children calcium deficiency (lack of calcium) it may affect growth, delay the strengthening of the skeleton bones. In adults, lack of calcium causes deployment and weakening of bones and leads sooner or later to osteoporosis. When calcium is absorbed in the body it helps in the normal functioning…

Imagine waking up, tripping over a rug, and immediately breaking a hip bone or shoulder without any hesitation. With the right amount of calcium in your diet, this can reform immensely for the state of one’s bone health. The root “osteo” actually means bone; moreover, Osteoporosis is a disease in which the bone is tremendously brittle, which can be preventable with the right precautions. Bones are the formation of the skeletal system in which helps with mobility and structure. Unfortunately,…

Cinthya Montoya September 18, 2014 Period 4 Biology Surface Tension of Water I. Objective: How does soap affect the surface tension of water? II. Background: The surface tension of water is due to cohesion forces that allow water to stick to its same molecules. In a liquid, such as water, molecules are strongly attracted by each other causing a phenomenon called surface tension of water. Surface tension could be defined as the force that implies a liquid to resist external forces produced by…
