Echoing Women Empowerment by improving their health
In celebration of Women’s month this March,
we hear a lot of emphasis towards empowering the female population and urge for
gender equality. The Philippine Commission for Women (PCW) adopts the theme
“Making Change Work for Women” which aims to implement programs and services
that address strategic gender needs of women.
In our society nowadays, more and more
women are engaging in what used to be jobs only meant for men. In some cases,
we witness women excelling in the corporate industry more than male. This
development brings a positive outlook towards the goal of gender equality.
Aside from these developments, women still
hold certain roles in the family, being a mother and a wife has its own
necessities and striking a balance between these personas can be very
challenging.
In order to do this, Women need additional
supplements to stay healthy and be able to prolong their roles that they have
to accomplish. It is noted that women needs more calcium intake than men. This
is due to the fact that women go through several life stages that increases
their calcium needs.
1- Puberty
During this stage, women are at the prime
of their being active physically. This is also the stage when they start
menstruating. It is important to consume the right levels of calcium everyday
to prevent the risk of different bone conditions, and try to build up your
calcium levels from your younger days.
2. Aldulting
In starting an adult life and having a
family, Women needs a certain level of estrogen. Estrogen is essential for
woman sex hormone. Estrogen also maintains the bone health. Calcium is crucial in
maintaining estrogen intact in a woman’s body.
3. Pregnancy
During this stage, woman is required to
double their calcium intake regularly. This is to supply the calcium needs of the
fetus as much as her own. The fetus needs normal levels of calcium to ensure
proper heart function and rate as well as proper function of nervous system and
muscles. Neglecting the additional calcium intake during your pregnancy will
result in utilization of your stored calcium which will be harmful for you in
the long term.
4. Menopause
Study shows that the bone density declines
by 20% after menopause when estrogen level starts to deplete, hence, it is
recommended to take sufficient levels of calcium to prevent the problem of
bones osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis, is a condition where bones
become too porous and loose its density. As bones become more porous and
fragile, the risk of fracture is greatly increased. The loss of bone occurs
silently and progressively. Often there are no symptoms until the first
fracture occurs.
Having stated the importance of calcium in
your body, it is important to take calcium supplements to assure you are
