 A couple of weeks ago my father-in-law, Dr. Robert Nara, asked if I would be interested in writing an article for this newsletter.  At the time I didn’t think that was possible because I don’t know a lot about the field of dentistry.   That was the case until this past weekend when I was skiing with my wife and I took a terrible fall breaking my collarbone.  How does my accident relate to dentistry you might ask?  The answer is simple, it’s calcium.

Calcium plays an important role in strengthening bones and teeth.  Everyone needs to receive enough calcium per day in his or her diets.  People that lack the recommended daily amount place themselves at risk for such diseases as osteoporosis and periodontal disease.  Depending on your age the amount of calcium needed on a daily basis is different.  Young children require approximately 900mg per day whereas teenagers require 1200mg of calcium per day.  As we grow older our skeletons lose calcium causing our bone density to decrease putting ourselves at risk for fractures.  It’s vital that we maintain a diet rich in calcium no matter how young or old.

Good sources of calcium can be found in the following products:
        • Milk
        • Cheese
        • Yogurt
        • Leafy green vegetables
        • Fish
        • Nuts
Also you can take supplements containing calcium but you should not rely on supplements completely.

In conclusion, I would recommend everyone treat his or her body right. Give it the needed vitamins each day to remain healthy and if you’re like me get yourself a good ski instructor.
