Women’s Health – Depo Provera- To Prevent Bone Loss I Recommend Viactiv Chews

Women’s Health Viactiv Chews and Depro Provera: I find the amount of females who do not know they should take a calcium and D supplement or exercise when they are receiving depo provera shot very disturbing. The majority of these females have told me no one has ever mentioned calcium and D supplement and exercise while on Depo provera. Next I hear, why do I need to exercise and take calcium and D? I tell them Depo Provera causes bone loss especially at a time when the strength and thickness of their bones increases during their teens, 20, 30’s. If they have been taking the depo shot for less than 2 years the bone loss can be partially stopped with dietary or supplemental calcium and vitamin D. If they have been taking the depo shot for 2 yrs. or more , I think it would be a good idea to talk with the doctor about alternative birth control methods. If there is no other bc alternative then be sure to take a calcium with D supplement or get it through your diet. Also, start walking running or playing sports if not already doing so. If you ladies know you are not going to receive enough calcium and D in your diet then I highly recomment Viactiv chews. They are like eating a chewy peice of candy and taste pretty good. You can throw a couple of chews in your purse and eat them on the run if you are really busy. They come in different flavors like milk chocolate and carmel and eating two chews daily will provide you with 1000mg of ca and a source of vitamin D and K. Even if you are not taking the depo shot you should seriously think about taking calcium with D earlier in life to maintain bone health.

Factoring In Gender: Women’s Health Research at Yale

admin — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 15:56:04 +0000

Scientists and community members speak about a variety of topics including: 1) the dramatic need for scientific information on women’s health and on gender-specific factors determining health and disease; 2) the scientific tradition of excluding women as participants in many clinical trials, and the continuing practice of “pooling” subject data rather than analyzing health outcomes by gender that have each contributed to this “knowledge gap,”; 3) the progress being made in reversing these historical trends, and; 4) new scientific information being uncovered in women’s health and gender-specific medicine.
