PRACTICES TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY MUSCULOSKELETON SYSTEM
GOOD BODY POSTURE
Prevent circulation of the blood, suppressing the nerves and vital organs.
Posture refers to a person’s body position when sitting, lying, walking and standing.
Slouching will exert pressure on the vertebral
column, resulting in the misalignment of the vertebral column.
PROPER ATTIRE
A suitable pair of shoes, with low heels and cushion, provides support and prevents injury to the vertebral column.
Wear proper, comfortable and loose clothing- not to restrict blood circulation and affect the musculoskeletal system.
EXERCISE
Exercise also increases bone strength and bone mineral deposits among adults, as well as prevents osteoporosis in the elderly.
Exercise strengthens the joint structure and
increases the flexibility of muscles and ligaments.
BALANCED DIET
Consume a balanced diet, especially foods rich in calcium (milk), minerals (phosphate), vitamin C and D. Vitamin D aids in calcium absorption, while vitamin C increases bone mass.
