Diet & Lifestyle Advise

Healthy eating habits:

  • Add foods high in calcium, such as milk, curd, paneer, cheese, ragi, sesame seeds, and almonds.
  • Make sure you get enough vitamin D from foods like eggs, salmon, fortified milk, and mushrooms.
  • To promote bone health, consume meals high in protein (dal, legumes, eggs, lean meat).
  • To improve vitamin D synthesis, spend 15 to 20 minutes in the morning in the sun.
  • Reduce your intake of carbonated drinks, salt, and caffeine because they accelerate the loss of calcium.

Lifestyle modifications:

  • To strengthen your bones, engage in weight-bearing and strength-building activities such as yoga, stair climbing, and walking.
  • To reduce bone stress and fracture risk, maintain a healthy body weight.
  • Steer clear of alcohol and tobacco since they weaken bones and decrease the absorption of calcium.
  • Wearing appropriate footwear and maintaining well-lit living areas can help prevent falls and injuries.

It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation. Vitamin D3 is a steroid hormone produced in the skin when exposed to ultraviolet light or obtained from food sources. It helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and the mineralization of bone.

Antacids may increase the absorption of Calcium from Amcoral Tablet . Hence, it is advised to take Amcoral Tablet two hours before or four hours after taking antacids.

Amcoral Tablet is used to increase low levels of calcium in the body. Hence, it is not advised to use Amcoral Tablet during hypercalcaemia since it causes the overdose of calcium, leading to kidney stones and other effects.
