As your body growls and develops, it deposits minerals in your bones to help you mature into a healthy person. During your adult years, however, bones maintain themselves by gradually re- placing bone tissue with new tissue. For many people this bone loss makes the bones quite porous and brittle, resulting in the many broken bones old people suffer as a result of a tall. The bone loss itself will not be painful, but will lead to numerous physical condi- tions if not prevented. pause years, when estrogen levels go down. One out of every four women in North America over age so is affected by osteoporosis, and many more by age TO. Men are not immune. One in eight elderly men suffer as well. Studies have shown that certain physi- cal characteristics such as thyroid diseases. decreased hormone levels. and particularly lack of physical activity may promote osteoporosis in certain people. There are many ways to help prevent your chances of suffering the weakening. stooping effects. The first preventative treatment is to exercise regularly. Even moderate ex- cercise helps promote stronger bones. Bone loss begins earlier and happens much quicker with women. Because the female hormone estrogen plays a vital role in keeping bones strong and pre- venting ooteoporosls, women are espe- daily susceptible during their meno- #14- IN Fi.AbgpErts Haws i Za' 1tagrzr'--eaaxy MMKQMQW z”???

A daily intake of calcium may include foods such as. dairy products (particularly yoghurt. milk and cheese), salmon. and dark, leafy vegetables such as spinach and broccoli.

And even in your neighborhood grocery store, you can't turf: an aisle comer without a sample being shoved in your face. What all this boils down to of course is, can Coca-cola be toppled from its perennial rank of King of the Castle by runner-up Pepsi or by a cola-lition of Pepsi and other lesser-known brands? What has moved the news of the war from page three to page one in market- ing magazines was the astonishing decision made in Coke's Atlanta board- room to alter the taste of their product after decades of praising Its original, traditional taste. Suddenly, out of no- where, just as the battle in the trenches reaches a fever pitch. Coca-Cola makes what many believe to be the most bone-headed move of the marketing decade. Sweeter. Less fizz. Bad enough they felt they needed a "new improved" label on their product. Worse yet, they have changed the taste to the point where it now tastes like Pepsi - their only serious competitor. No one under, stands why, not the concerned con- sumer, not Coke's competitors, not even Bill Cosby, who tlogs Coke on Canadian commercials. Just what is the Western World coming to when a product as traditional as Chevrolet and apple pie, to say nothing of Mom, is allowed to make a unilateral move like this?
