00:00 Experts are alarmed because Filipinos are becoming calcium deficient due to osteoporosis.

00:07 One of the factors is that Filipinos are not allowed to drink milk.

00:11 Here is my first news.

00:13 Mother Dominica is wheelchair-bound.

00:19 Aside from her age of 99 years, she can't stand or walk straight.

00:24 She has osteoporosis, a disease that occurs due to low calcium intake.

00:30 Her posture is far from her childhood.

00:36 She said she didn't drink milk that is rich in calcium.

00:40 Sometimes, I don't drink milk.

00:43 Milk is obtained from calabash, cow, or goat.

00:56 The milk we drink is different.

01:01 The milk supply is different.

01:04 In the Philippines, 97.5% of people aged 19 to 59 years old are calcium deficient,

01:10 while 95% of people aged 60 years old are.

01:14 It's alarming because of the high percentage of people with calcium deficiency in the Philippines.

01:24 One of the reasons according to the DOST-FNRI is that Filipinos are not allowed to drink milk.

01:30 I asked some of our fellow Filipinos what they drink, and they said they don't drink milk.

01:37 Of course, water.

01:38 Water.

01:40 Not milk?

01:41 No, ma'am.

01:42 Because of the hot weather, we should drink water.

01:46 I'm a coffee girl, so I drink coffee.

01:49 In one day, I can drink 10 cups.

01:51 Coconuts.

01:52 If we are calcium deficient, our bones will become brittle.

01:58 That's why we can easily get sick.

02:00 The DOST-FNRI recommends that we should take a sun bath to absorb calcium.

02:06 Avoid smoking, eat a balanced diet, and limit drinking coffee or any drink that contains caffeine.

02:13 Do you know that caffeine has a direct effect on our calcium intake?

02:19 Caffeine will stop the use of calcium in our body.

02:24 Even if you eat high-calcium foods, if you have high-calcium caffeine in your body, it will not be able to properly use calcium.

02:34 That's why we have a deficiency.

02:36 If you are lactose intolerant or you don't like milk, there are alternatives to get calcium.

02:42 Like malunggay, kangkung, kamote tops, and other green vegetables.

02:50 And small fish, like dillis, and seafoods, are high in calcium.

02:58 And we also have cereals that are high in calcium.

03:02 Yes, sardines. Sardines are also included because fish eat fish bones.
