Embrace Active Aging: Prioritizing Bone and Joint Health This World Health Day
Many of us face challenges as we age, from weakening bones and
joints to reduced mobility and an increased risk of chronic conditions.
Osteoporosis, in particular, has become a pressing concern among adults and the elderly,
yet it is frequently dismissed as a natural part of aging. This perception results
in a lack of urgency in addressing the disease, leaving many unaware of the
preventive measures they can take to maintain strong bones and joints. Without
early intervention, poor bone and joint health can significantly impact one’s
independence and overall quality of life, making everyday activities more
challenging.
A key factor contributing to poor bone health is inadequate calcium
intake. In the Philippines , daily calcium consumption remains critically low
at below 500 mg— far from the 1,000 mg recommended for adults. The 2021 Expanded National Nutrition Survey
further revealed that 97.2% of adults and 95.5% of the elderly suffer from
calcium deficiency, highlighting a widespread nutritional gap. These concerning
figures emphasize the urgent need to raise awareness, encourage early
diagnosis, and promote proactive steps to support bone and joint health. By
prioritizing education, improving access to proper nutrition, and incorporating
the right supplements, we can take charge of our well-being and continue
leading active, independent lives as we age.
As we celebrate World Health Day on April 7, it is the perfect time
to reflect on the importance of prioritizing overall health and well-being.
This global awareness day serves as a reminder that maintaining an active and
healthy lifestyle is essential at every stage of life. Aging gracefully is not
just about appearance—it’s about staying strong, mobile, and independent for as
long as possible. With the right support, Filipinos can take proactive steps to
safeguard their health and continue doing what they love.
To support active and healthy aging, LAC
Philippines, a leading health and wellness supplement brand, offers
two essential products designed to promote strong bones and flexible joints.
LAC FullCal® features a highly absorbable
Calcium Citrate powder formula that helps strengthen bones and teeth while
ensuring optimal calcium absorption and metabolism. Enriched with fish
collagen, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E, it also supports joint health. Its good 2:1
Calcium-to-Magnesium ratio aids in proper calcium utilization, while added
Magnesium supports muscle function. The formula also helps promote healthy
nerve signaling, reducing muscle cramps and tension.
Its
fast-dissolving powder format ensures effortless consumption, simply take it
directly in the mouth or mix it with water or juice, making it a great option
for those who have difficulty swallowing pills. Packed in individual sachets
for on-the-go use, LAC FullCal® comes in two refreshing flavors—lemon and
apple—offering a simple yet effective way to maintain bone health, muscle
function, and an active lifestyle.

healthy cartilage and connective tissue. Its jelly format makes it a convenient
and enjoyable option for individuals who want to prioritize joint health
without the hassle of large pills.
Aging should never mean slowing down. With proper care, the right
nutrition, and an active lifestyle, we can continue living life to the fullest.
