Stop Calcium Deficiency In Gastric Bypass PatientsGastric bypass surgery patients are even more unlikely to intake enough dietary calcium and without supplementation they can become calcium deficient which ultimately results in osteoporosis. Weight loss surgery individuals are limited by the volume of calcium rich foods they may consume. In addition, the malabsorption issue resulting from gastric bypass presents another problem. Since the bowel does not easily absorb calcium and the stomach is drastically shortened there is limited opportunity for the calcium to be absorbed in the body. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body - we have two or three pounds of it, most of which is located in the bones and teeth. In addition to building bones and teeth, calcium is an electrolyte required for transmitting nerve signals, h2o balance, acid/alkaline balance and maintaining osmotic pressure. It helps the blood to coagulate and is better for the heart muscle function. It's long been known that calcium can aid in the prevention of osteoporosis, but new studies are identifying calcium for it's anticancer actions within the colon. A lot of dietary calcium comes from dairy products but will also be found in sardines, canned salmon, green leafy vegetables and tofu. The national academy of sciences has raised the calcium guideline to 1,000 milligrams a day for people less than 51, and to 1,200-1,500 milligrams a day for people over fifty-one. Gastric bypass surgery patients can do 3 things to better assimilate calcium in the Body: First, ingest a chewable calcium supplement twice daily. Second, exercise consistently. Third, enjoy sunlight every day. Chewable supplements taken twice daily will more rapidly dissolve and assimilate into the body than hard pills. They should be five hundred milligrams each; the body cannot absorb more than five hundred milligrams at a time. The greatest supplements are calcium citrate, calcium carbonate and calcium lactate. Next, studies show that people who exercise regularly better assimilate calcium into the body than sedentary individuals. Even though us astronauts take calcium supplements in orbit, they return to earth calcium deficient; nasa believes lack of physical activity prevents their bodies from assimilating the calcium. And exercise is also very good for gastric bypass surgery patients to keep the weight down! Finally, get some sunshine. Twenty minutes a day of direct or indirect sunlight will give the body plenty of natural vitamin d, the "sunshine vitamin", which is necessary for calcium assimilation. Doing these 3 things will make you feel great today and will contribute to healthier aging. Osteoporosis is an epidemic in this country and is straight attributed to calcium deficiency. We all understand that when an elderly individual falls and breaks a hip death is imminent. Osteoporosis is nearly always the reason why hipbones break when elderly people fall. In the case of osteoporosis there is nothing the body can do to defend itself from the loss of calcium associated with aging. Supplementation is necessary throughout adulthood to avoid chronic calcium deficiency. This is only a snippet For more click here
