Preventing and lowering your risk of osteoporosis and osteopenia is a lifelong commitment of nutrition, weight-bearing exercise and diet. Calcium plays a sufficient part in your overall health and well being, at every phase. especially regarding women's health.In your twenties, most women are nearing their maximum lifetime bone density. By 30 years old, bone density is starting to fall and continues to do so throughout your thirties and forties. As women reach perimenopause and menopause, generally in their fifties, bone density drops rapidly. Strengthening bone density and replacing lost calcium and vitamins can occur through supplementation. The challenge becomes finding ways to get your recommended daily intake of calcium and other essential vitamins and minerals that your body needs.Combining chocolate and calcium could very well be one of the best things to happen. Not only do women get to fulfill their indulgences and cravings for the taste, but the added calcium helps to build stronger bones and lower the risk of losing bone mass and getting osteoporosis. Several manufacturers have attempted to combine these elements together successfully and while there have been incremental victories along the way, we have yet to reach the summit, until now. Enjoy.
