As a mom of three, even though my kids are almost adults now, I still face the daily challenges of caring for my family while managing my own health.
Between keeping up with my children’s evolving needs and continuing to juggle household responsibilities, it’s easy to put my own well-being on the back burner. However, over the years, I’ve learned that taking care of myself—especially my bones and joints—as I age is crucial.
Many of us face challenges as we get older, from weakening bones and joints to reduced mobility and an increased risk of chronic conditions. One of the most pressing concerns is osteoporosis, a disease that affects bones, making them weak and fragile. Osteoporosis is often dismissed as a natural part of aging, leading to a lack of urgency in addressing it. Unfortunately, this misunderstanding causes many people to ignore the early warning signs, unaware that they can take preventive steps to maintain strong bones and joints. Without early intervention, poor bone and joint health can significantly affect our independence and quality of life, making everyday tasks—such as playing with my kids or keeping up with my active lifestyle—more difficult.
Calcium Deficiency: A Silent Threat to Bone Health
One major factor contributing to poor bone health is inadequate calcium intake. In the Philippines, daily calcium consumption remains critically low, with many adults consuming less than 500 mg daily—far below the 1,000 mg recommended for adults. According to the 2021 Expanded National Nutrition Survey, 97.2% of adults and 95.5% of the elderly suffer from calcium deficiency, highlighting a widespread nutritional gap. This deficiency is a serious concern, especially as we age. It’s essential to raise awareness, encourage early diagnosis, and promote proactive steps to support bone and joint health.
Active Aging: Why It Matters for Moms
As we approach World Health Day on April 7, it’s a perfect opportunity to reflect on the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle at every stage of life. Aging gracefully is not just about maintaining a youthful appearance—it’s about staying strong, mobile, and independent for as long as possible. For us moms, it means being able to keep up with our children, even when they’re almost adults, and continue doing the things we love. The right care, nutrition, and support are crucial to active aging.
