Show Pg 14 - Millard Countv USPS Thurs May 22 1986 Basic Training held at Armory Osteoporosis and calcium supplements Have ever heard of you osieoporosis? Yes? And there are many people who are running to the store for MarGenne B Calcium supplements Home USU Extension Rowley Economist for Millard County would like you to think about whether or not you should be taking supplements and if you do take them how to select them It's Hue that most of us aren't getting enough calcium in our daily meals and snacks and although supplements are readily available they’re not the perfect solution If reminds everyone: MarGenne you’re thinking about taking Calcium first check with a physisupplements cian because it might be unwise or unnecessary to get more calcium than you already do For example people with a tendan-ctoward kidney stones should not take calcium unless supplements prescribed by a doctor and calcium should never by given to a child unless a doctor recommends it for a specific reason Remember that supplements are not replacements for foods you should be eating only possible additions If you must take calcium supplements the choices can be confusing The most important thing to look for is the amount of calcium provided per tablet or spoonful This is listed in milligrams As a reference remember there are about 300 milligrams of calcium in one cup of milk Also find out the source of the calcium like other minerals calcium can't be absorbed into your body unless it’s combined with another chemical That’s why you see such names as "Calcium Carbonate” Calcium Lactate” and “Calcium Gluconate” A few antacids also contain Calcium Carbonate and have been suggested as supplements However taking them in the amounts needed over a period of time could cause the stomach to produce too much acid Some antacids should be avoided because they contain aluminum which causes loss of calcium Bonemeal and dolomite which is a form of Limestone should be avoided because of their lead content Another concern is Vitamin D Some manufacturers add it to their products because it helps deposit Calcium in bone But such a supplement could give you up to five times the amount of itamin D your body can use And since Vitamin D is stored in the body these amounts can be toxic I inally watch out lor “fancy” calcium where the supplements calcium is “chelated” or in anchored place by another particle or where (synthetic) gredients are added These supplements are often more expensive and there’s ro evidence the body makes better use of them The sun affects fabrics differently Whether you let the sunshine in to warm or light your home the heat and light may have harmful effects on whatever they hit Many fibers used in furniture and carpet may drapery deteriorate after prolonged exposure to sunlight According to Dr Vera Keeble USU Extension clothing and textiles specialist the durability of a fabric exposed to the sun depends on its fiber content method of construction types of yarns dyes used finishes applied and area of the country Although all these variables contribute to a fabric’s durability Keeble says cotton linen silk acetate rayon and nylon are especially susceptible to sunlight Prolonged exposure may cause yellowing fiber weakness and even rotting She says if you have drapes upholstery or carpet that must stand up to sunlight for long periods polyester is the best fabric It deteriorates very little even in direct sunlight High humidity is generally not a problem in Utah The state’s low humidity can actually piolong the life of fabric However the amount of moisture in your home can affect the life expectancies of your fabrics Cotlinens and rayons tons absorb moisture the most easily while synthetics absorb more slowly Keeble says Tor drapery absoibing moisture can cause the fabric to sag and lose its shape Moisture can also carry airborne pollutants and contaminants that speed fabric
