Brittle Bones Part 2 (Teacher: Michael)
If anyone has been told they have
Select
a
the
an
thinning of bone (and this has to be proved by X-ray), they must take extra care not to do any heavy lifting or straining. They need
Select
a
the
an
diet with plenty of protein and vitamins. These last two are so often poorly supplied in
Select
a
the
an
elderly, who sometimes live alone, and have no stimulus to do proper baking or cooking. For
Select
a
the
an
long time, it was thought that this thinning of bone at any age might be due to
Select
a
the
an
lack of calcium, and patients were stuffed with it.
Big doses of calcium were disappointing, and
Select
a
the
an
varied diet gives anybody enough of this mineral anyway. Finally, if grandma is changing houses after her brood has grown up, try to get her to accept
Select
a
the
an
bungalow instead of
Select
a
the
an
up-and-down. Fractures are much less frequent in
Select
a
the
an
former.
There are now drugs available to help combat
Select
a
the
an
problem, but taking precautions to avoid falls is always practical.
