Lifestyle Osteoporosis As we age, it’s important to maintain our bone strength. If bone mass drops too low, it can lead to osteoporosis, a bone-thinning disease that can cause fractures. But there are ways to slow bone loss and reduce the risk for osteoporosis and bone fractures as we get older.
What Is Osteoporosis? A Bone Disease Osteoporosis is a disease that thins and weakens the bones to the point that they become fragile and break easily. Women and men with osteoporosis most often break bones in the hip, spine, and wrist, but any bone can be affected. You can’t “catch” osteoporosis or give it to someone else. In the United States, more than 40 million people either already have osteoporosis or are at high risk due to low bone mass, placing them at risk for more serious bone loss and fractures. Although osteoporosis can strike at any age, it is most common among older people, especially older women. www.vall ey rev ue .co m
How Bone Loss Occurs Bone is living tissue. Throughout our lives, the body breaks down old bone and replaces it with new bone. But as people age, more bone is broken down than is replaced. The inside of a bone normally looks like a honeycomb, but when a person has osteoporosis, the spaces inside this honeycomb become larger, reflecting the loss of bone density AUG US T 2 015

Osteoporosis, cont from page 13 and strength. The outside of long bones – called the cortex – also thins, further weakening the bone. In fact, the word “osteoporosis” means “porous bone.” Sometime around the age of 30, bone mass stops increasing, and the goal for bone health is to keep as much bone as possible for as long as you can. In most women, the rate of bone loss increases for several years after menopause, then slows down again, but continues. In men, the bone loss occurs more slowly. But by age 65 or 70, most men and women are losing bone at the same rate. Osteoporosis is often called “silent” because bone loss occurs without symptoms. People may not know that
they have osteoporosis until a sudden strain, bump, or fall causes a bone to break. This can result in a trip to the hospital, surgery, and possibly a longterm disabling condition.
Coping with Osteoporosis The good news is that osteoporosis can often be prevented and treated. Healthy lifestyle choices such as proper diet, exercise, and treatment medications can help prevent further bone loss and reduce the risk of fractures.
Prevention Diet and Exercise are Important Fortunately, in your older years, you can still take steps to protect your bones. You'll need a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, a regular exercise program, and, in some cases, medication. These steps can help you slow bone loss. In addition, you'll want to learn how to fall-proof your home and change your lifestyle to avoid fracturing fragile bones.
Getting Enough Calcium Bone is made up of calcium, protein, and other minerals. Getting enough calcium helps protect bones by slowing bone loss. Women over age 50 should consume 1,200 milligrams (mg) of calcium daily. Men between the ages of 51 and 70 should consume 1,000 mg of calcium a day, and men over 70 should consume 1,200 mg per day. To make sure you get enough calcium, make foods that are high in calcium part of your diet. The most concentrated food sources of calcium include lowfat dairy products such as low-fat milk, yogurt, and cheeses calciumfortified orange juice.

Although foods rich in calcium are believed to be the best source of calcium, most Americans’ diets do not contain enough calcium. Fortunately, you can choose to eat calciumfortified foods to ensure that you meet your daily calcium requirement. You can also take calcium supplements to help fill the gap. The most common calcium supplements are calcium carbonate and calcium citrate.
Getting Enough Vitamin D Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium. Exposure to sunlight causes www.vall ey rev ue .co m

your body to make vitamin D. Some people get all the vitamin D they need this way. However, many older people, especially those who are indoors most of the time and/or live in northern areas, are not getting enough vitamin D. Many people also have trouble getting enough vitamin D during the winter months when sunlight is limited. As you grow older, your need for vitamin D increases. People ages 51 to 70 should consume at least 600 international units (IU) of vitamin D daily. People over age 70 should consume at least 800 IUs daily. According to current recommendations, certain kinds of fish – herring, salmon, tuna – and low-fat milk fortified with vitamin D are good sources of vitamin D. A vitamin D supplement may also be

Exercises for Bone Health
Some ways to reduce falls and fractures include • keeping rooms free of clutter • anchoring carpets and area rugs • wearing rubber-soled shoes for traction • having regular eye exams. When used properly, hip protectors are also effective in preventing fractures.

Preventing Falls and Fractures
Senior
Exercise can make bones and muscles stronger and help slow the rate of bone loss. It is also a way to stay active and mobile. Weightbearing exercises done three to four times a week are recommended for bone health. Walking, jogging, playing tennis, and dancing are examples of weight-bearing exercises. Strengthening and balance exercises, such as Tai Chi, may help you avoid falls and reduce your chance of breaking a bone. Proper posture and body mechanics are important when doing exercises. If you have osteoporosis, you should avoid activities that involve twisting
your spine or bending forward from the waist, such as conventional situps, toe touches, or swinging a golf club.

Bikers along the popular C&O Canal. By Auni Gelles, Heart of the Civil War Heritage Area www.heartofthecivilwar.org
V
isitors from across the world are drawn to this area because of the role it played in the Civil War. The Heart of the Civil War Heritage Area, however, has much to offer beyond its rich history. The stunning natural landscape sculpted by the Piedmont plateau and foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains is an ideal destination for bikers and outdoor enthusiasts of all types. Whether you’re looking for an endurance challenge or a leisurely outing, your next biking adventure awaits in the Heart of the Civil War. Explore Carroll County—an area crisscrossed by both Union and Confederate troops during the 1863 Gettysburg campaign—with over 150 miles of bike trails. The ten trails have varying degrees of difficulty, so check out the Carroll County Bike Loop map before you hit the road. The 185-mile Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park, once a bustling transportation corridor, runs along the Potomac River from www. va l leyrev ue . co m
Georgetown to Cumberland, Maryland. While cycling isn’t the only way to experience the towpath, it is a popular way to visit several Canal Towns in one day. The Frederick History Bicycle Loop provides a flat, 10-mile course through 22 sites in the city’s 50-block historic district. History and biking come together in a spectacular fashion at the Frederick Clustered Spires Race—the country’s only high wheel race—on August 15. Find more info at highwheelrace.com. Explore Hub City and the scenic surrounding countryside through eight different Washington County Bicycle Tours. Of particular interest to Civil War travelers may be the 33-mile South Mountain to Sharpsburg trail, which passes through the historic main streets of Boonsboro, Keedysville, and Sharpsburg.
