Although the traditional view is that milk strengthens bones, Australian researchers have now come up with a whole new way to make our children as strong as possible. The recipe for success does not require vitamins or amino acids with unspeakable names, it is enough to focus on the right combination of sleep, exercise and sitting.
Experts at the University of South Australia have examined a total of 804 children between the ages of 11 and 13 to develop the perfect daily routine that is most conducive to bone health, the Daily Mail wrote.
The researchers said that exercise is vital to achieving adequate bone strength, so they set out to determine optimal activity. In this case, they found it ideal for a child to exercise or run 90 minutes a day and spend an additional 3.4 hours (204 minutes) on lighter activities such as walking or household chores.
In addition to physical activity, an 8-hour session a day can be the healthiest, which can include time spent at school, reading, or even studying at home. To end the ideal day, experts recommend 11 hours of sleep and then you can start all over again.
He stressed the importance of understanding the best mix of activities needed for bone growth in younger children because the strongest bone mass can be achieved between the ages of 18 and 20.
“ Optimizing bone health in children is key against osteoporosis, which is the number one cause of fractures in adults and a significant public health problem with significant economic and social costs, ” he added.
So there is no need for miracle cures or expensive therapies to keep children healthy, and no milk needs to be consumed per liter. The perfect recipe in summary:
