Capsule Comments
with Ernie Miatello
This is always a good time of the year to discuss our. -
ideal weight. Here's a. simple formula to' see what
you should weigh. For men: 100 lbs. for the first 5
feet then add 6 lbs. for each extra inch Of height. For -
women: 100 lbs. for the first 5 feet then add 5 lbs.
per inch. Kind of depressing isn't it? - -
To get the best absorption from your calcium supplement, don't take it
with high fibre foods or laxatives. Fibre works to move intestinal contents
through more quickly to help avoid constipation: Calcium needs slower
movement for better absorption. Separate t-he.two. if you're getting your
calcium from milk and eat high fibre cereals. count on only half the cal-
cium in the milk being absorbed.
Can thyroid supplements cause bone -loss? In post -menopausal women,
too much thyroid can do just that. However, this risk is not significant;for
the vast majority of people taking thyroid hormone. Their doses are much
less than those. that cause bone loss; People taking thyroid replace-
ments should have their levels checked at least -yearly, •
Thinking of "butting out"? Smoking is the leading cause of preventable
death in Canada today. It causes brittle bones and impotent males. It's
the single greatest cause of heart disease, it doubles your risk of stroke,
causes lung cancer, and second-hand smoke can harm our children.
Now's the time to stop.
