my relative he is so white that if you stripped him naked and had him
face a white wall would not be able to see him
my relative he gets very little sunlight
my relative he gets very little vitamin d and calcium in his diet
my relative he gets very little weight bearing exercise
except for walking from car to work
my relative he may get osteoporosis as he ages and the complications
just like women do who develop osteoporosis
osteoporosis causes a weakening of the bones which overtime
increases the risk for broken bones usually hip fracture is the most
serious in men
over 2 million men have osteoporosis
about 13 percent of adult white men over 50 years will have an
osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime-know who in our family that will be
is more likely in men over 70 years old
you are at risk for osteoporosis if you have a parent or sibling with it or
if you are a smoker heavy drinker have a slight build have a low testosterone
have poor nutrition or take certain drugs such as long term steroids
there are no symptoms early on in osteoporosis but later can
have loss of height broken bones stooped posture and back pain
osteoporosis can be diagnosed with the bone density test
osteoporosis can be prevented by quitting smoking decreasing alcohol intake or
stop drinking getting weight bearing exercise
if you do not get enough calcium in your diet then supplements of vitamin d and
calcium may be recommended
foods high in calcium are milk products leafy green vegetables sardines(yuk)
cat food sandwich(joke from previous blog-do google search on right
of this blog) salmon tofu and almonds
you can get enough sunlight for vitamin d production by getting direct sunlight for
10-15 minutes two to three times a week
ie avoid white on white
if you have osteoporosis it can be teated with medication

THE WET SUITCASE
my relatives they visited us this weekend see mondays blog
my brotherinlaw he likes to get plant cuttings to plant at his place
in another state
do the same when visit him-last time got cactus and a dragon fruit both of
which are growing
this time gave him some plants from my small pond and some malabar spinach
put them in a plastic bag with water soaked paper towel
well maybe not soaked but maybe some extra water to be sure
triple bagged the plants
my sisterinlaw had room on the outside of her luggage
some one-no one will admit it-placed the plastic bag with maybe some extra
water in my sisterinlaws suitcase
when my sisterinlaw was taking the bags out of the car she said
why is my bag wet
no one admitted to anything she was told it was from a bottled water
in the back of the car
she said there is no bottled water in the back of the car
well dont know why it was wet (hahahahahahaha)
well to make things worse they got stuck in denver overnight as their
transfer flight was canceled
my sisterinlaw opened her suitcase and all her clothes were soaking wet
sorry wasnt there to give my brotherinlaw some support
know it was a traumatic moment
hope he was able to transplant the plants when he got home
although they were probably planted in denver in the trash
