Is limestone (chuna) really helpful for spinal problems?

Spinal or calcium problems.

If its calcium find out how much calcium you need everyday. Just Google.

Then you can google for natural source of calcium. Yes chuna is good but i am not aware of how good it is, how to take, how to get benefit from.

Spinal problem means meet a good yoga guru, not just thinking as spine problems but ensure that you dont get most health issues going forward.

Just learn Sun Salutation or Surya Namaskar. It requires just 6 by 4 area feet place.

Can do morning or evening also.

Even when i am out of town in a relatives place, hotel i can practice.Start off with 4 rounds.

Do 24 surya namaskara. Hardly it will take 24 min. Atleast do for 10 or 15 mins.

Do this for rest of your life.

You will not have any problems with your spine or most health issues.

But hope you have no slip disc or other issues.

Just speak to a yoga guru, get into practice.

For Calcium easy and best method just buy milk powder. Daily men need 1000 mg while feeding women need 1200 mg.

There are also some natural ayurvedic calcium tablets. You can try them but take only the required quantity after seeing how much mg is falling short in your diet. Best consult a doctor.

1kg of milk powder has 11 lites of milk.

Costs 240 to 300 rupees. Buy skimmed or low fat milk powder only.

If you drink milk you can just add a scoop to ensure lifelong no shortage of calcium.

I make a nice banana milk shake with one glass of milk and add 3–4 scoops. That way its tasty as well. Mixes better, infact very very easy than whey or other protein shakes.

Offcourse milk is casein protein and more calories and i have to take 3–4 scoops but i am not looking for lean muscle cuts or shape and my is weight is fine.

Plus i am okay with slow absorption rate of casien protein. Also people with lactose intolerance or gastric people should start with very less, say 1 spoon.

If not adjustable, they should stop it.

If you miss to drink milk, you can just stir in water. You can have a spoon or two just like that.

Easy method and pure low cost method.

Drink lots of water, as its high proteins as well. So constipation and gas can be a issue.

What lifestyle changes can help the patients with arthritis?

It’s very simple like your muscles, your bones also go weak if you don’t use it.

Got the connection.

Now the problem, we are not able see our bones, so we don’t know if there is a slow degeneration or weakening of the bones.


So do a bone density first and find out. Go for Dual Energy X-ray Absorpimetry test (DXA). It detect as little as 2 percent change in bone density.

If your arthritis is a temporary illness like you were sick for a long time, had some fracture but if your bone density is fine, then nothing to worry.

Next other thing is you have to know that if there is not enough calcium in the body, the body starts to take the calcium from the bones.

So daily intake of calcium is must. Again i suggest for go for natural sources of calcium. Google for a good diet.

If you are purely for natural products i suggest you can take ayurvedic tablets as well. As their bio availability makes it easy for absorption and no side effects.

Else Torrent Pharma’s Shelcal is also good. Just see how much mg you need. But from any reputed brand and see if they have any side effects.

Anyways, see the below chart and don’t exceed your calcium in take tablets. Don’t food also provides some calcium. So balance it out and never depend only supplements.



But today shortage of time and lack of discipline its not possible. So i would suggest take calcium tablets with Vitamin D.

Yes, only calcium tablets will not help, Vitamin D will make the calcium absorb by the body.

So spend some time in sunlight but take calcium tablets.

Main thing is not about bones have a regular health check up every year.
This will help you keep track of your health from the start.

Here’s a list of COMPLETE health checkup i have posted.

This covers your entire all body organs, urine, blood, bones, check for ALL tumours and cancer in the start itself. And costs nothing much

This is like you have covered almost every disease.

Trust its not a big deal, just one or two years, once you make a habit then all of you can have control on your health and not worry later about running from hospital to hospital or blaming the doctors.

It’s like if you have the knowledge of your health, you will take control of it.
I am not suggesting go for excercise or something.

Just telling like how we take care of our bikes, cars from the start and give to service.

Trust me it’s simple.

Then off course, have a health insurance, that’s it.
