It can promote bone calcium growth and increase bone strength.

**3.** **Dietary Principles and Requirements for Osteoporosis**

(1) Ensure adequate protein intake: Protein is the raw material for the bone matrix.

It can increase calcium absorption and storage, which is beneficial for preventing and delaying osteoporosis. For example, milk contains...

Lactalbumin, osteoalbumin in bones, nucleoalbumin in walnuts, and egg white protein.

White foods contain elastin and collagen, and vitamin C is beneficial for collagen synthesis.

Therefore, older adults should have sufficient protein and vitamin C.

(2) Supplement calcium

Quality: The diet should provide sufficient calcium; a normal adult should consume 1,000 mg/day of calcium per day.

The daily dose is 800 mg, and the elderly should be given 1000 mg.

(3) Pay attention to cooking methods: Cooking methods also vary.

Importantly, some vegetables, such as spinach and amaranth, contain relatively high levels of...

Excessive oxalic acid can hinder calcium absorption. If these vegetables are placed in...

Blanching in boiling water, draining, and then cooking can reduce some of the cooking time.

Oxalic acid. Furthermore, grains contain phytase, which can break down phytates.

It releases free calcium and phosphorus, increasing calcium utilization. Phytase activity is highest at 55°C.

To increase phytase activity, rice can be soaked in an appropriate amount of water first.

Wash again, add a leavening agent to the flour, corn flour, and soybean flour, and extend the fermentation time.

Both can hydrolyze phytic acid, thus increasing free calcium.

(4) Limit alcohol consumption: Excessive alcohol consumption can affect calcium absorption, so it should be limited.

Moderate alcohol consumption is acceptable. In addition to dietary supplements, calcium supplements may be appropriate, but care should be taken to prevent calcium buildup.

Different forms of calcium. For example, calcium carbonate is poorly absorbed, and calcium lactate content is very low. Do not blindly supplement with vitamin A.

D pills, if taken in excess, can cause poisoning symptoms. Always take them under the guidance of a doctor.

Take under the guidance of a doctor. Only when dietary calcium combines with protein can it be fully absorbed by the body.

Therefore, dietary calcium supplementation is encouraged, and it is recommended to drink 250 grams of milk daily, which provides approximately [amount missing].

250 mg of calcium. However, recent research by Italian scholars has found that excessive consumption of calcium by the elderly...

Milk can promote the development of age-related cataracts. This is because 5% of milk is milky.

Sugars, such as lactose, are broken down into galactose by lactase. Excess galactose can be deposited.

In the lens of the eye, it affects the normal metabolism of the lens, thereby promoting age-related cataracts.

Therefore, calcium should not be obtained solely from milk; it should also be obtained from other calcium-rich sources.

Supplement with grains, soy products, yellow, green, and red vegetables, dried shrimp, and other foods.
