According to medical experts from the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine, University Hospital Ciptomangunkusumo Indonesia (Faculty of medicine-RSCM) Siti Annissa Nuhonni, during pregnancy the fetus requires a lot of calcium for bone formation, and the need is met by the calcium reserves in her body.
"In addition to pregnancy, postpartum breastfeeding mothers will also be making more calcium given to his mother," said faculty member in the Faculty of medicine-RSCM this.
He added, pregnancy and childbirth occur in the adjacent estrogen can also lead to impaired balance. Though estrogen is required to enter the calcium into the bones. "Therefore, they are more at risk of osteoporosis," he said.
To prevent the loss of calcium, dietitians Fiastuti Witjaksono suggest that a woman from the age of reproduction have sufficient calcium reserves.
"If calcium levels in the blood up, is taken calcium in the bones and teeth because 80 percent of calcium is there," said a specialist from the Faculty of Medicine's Department of Nutritional Sciences.
Intake of calcium can be met from many sources such as milk, cheese, fish, soy, yogurt, and green leafy vegetables. Those aged over 19 years old to 50 years old need 1,000 mg of calcium per day.
But Fiastuti warned that increasing age may lead to calcium absorption in the gut is not optimal.
"When the adult intestine can only absorb 40-50 percent of the calcium we eat, because it needs to be calculated how much calcium we eat has to be no shortage," he said.
One natural way to increase the intake of calcium is to bask in the sun in the morning for 15 minutes and reduce your intake of caffeine, foods high in salt, and stop smoking.
