Our bones are continually breaking down and rebuilding themselves, as we age. Calcium is the one thing that comes to mind when we think about bone health.  Our bones absorb and excrete calcium as the body needs it. That is why it is so important to get in all your diary requirements, eating calcium prepared cereals and drinking mineral waters and fruit juices.

Most of us love our coffee and salt but try to stay away from excess salt and caffeine – they can increase the rate at which calcium is lost by the body.

Must do’s for bone health

• Vitamin D is essential for the development and maintenance of your bones.
• Eat your fruits and vegetables.
• Check the sodium index on food packages, your salt intake must be less than 2300mg a day.
• Ad dark leafy greens or a fish with soft bones to your meal to get a calcium boost
• Sunlight will do wonders for your Vitamin D intake
• Mind your coffee intake, coke and other fizzy drinks.
• Take a calcium supplement

Our Herbalife Nutritional shake can help you with your daily calcium need.  Enjoy it once or twice a day and add the Herbalife supplements like Joint Support for your benefit.

It is possible to obtain physical fitness within 12 weeks. If physical fitness is still an overwhelming concept and you feel you don’t have the time, start by making the following changes in your lifestyle.

Home and lunch hour

You don’t have to be inactive when at home. Make time for training by getting up 20 minutes earlier and when used to it, change it to 40 minutes and then one hour earlier. It is also the best time to train as no calls or responsibilities will interfere with your training session. Start by doing 10 minutes of warm up and stretching exercises. Also complete your training session with stretch exercises as it will help prevent injuries and sore muscles.

Start slow

If you are extremely unfit, do walking exercises for the first two weeks and then light exercises for another week. Once you are able to handle exercises for ten minutes at a time while still being able to manage a conversation, you are ready for a 12 week physical fitness training program. Yes it is difficult to do it on your own, but fortunately the Shapelife website is packed with motivational articles and products to help you through every stage.
