Healthy Bones


As we get older our bones age.It is vital to include calcium and vitamin d into our diets.
Calcium supports our bones while vitamin d improves calcium absorption and bone growth.
Osteoporosis is a disease that causes brittle and breaking bones.


By consuming your daily intakes of calcium and vitamin d. Healthy bones are yours for the taking.
The adult requirement for calcium is 1,000 milligrams and 200 international units of vitamin D.
Past the age of 50, 1200 milligrams of calcium should  be consumed, while 400 to 600  international units  of vitamin d to match.

Food s  that are rich in calcium and vitamin d include, yoghurt, milk, cheese, sardines, eggs, fish spinach, fortified cereals and  freshly  squeezed  orange juice.
Farm fresh yogurt  has 30% calcium and 20% vitamin  d. So  a cup of yoghurt daily  is bound  to keep the doctor away.


Milk can be drunk whole  or mixed  down to a  smoothie or tasty shake. One glass of milk gives you 30% of your daily calcium dose. Fortified milks may include  vitamin D.


Now you know. Keep calcium and vitamin d in your system and brittle bones,will have  to simply  be history!

J C Leroux Wine Tasting : A Delight!

Good events are a rare case in Nairobi, not to forget a good drink. Willam Soklin, a  New York wine merchant once said, " What is  the definition of good wine? It should start  and  end with a smile." True to that saying, the wine was plenty and delightful at the J C Leroux wine tasting held at Alliance Francaise yesterday, 10th May,2012. The  wine tasting  courtesy  of J C Leroux  Sparkling Wine  from Distell Winemasters opened the 21st  European Film Festival at Alliance Francaise with participating countries including: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Slovak Republic, Spain, Sweden, Serbia & Switzerland.   Below are  the sights and sounds of  the crowd and the wine, J C Leroux in sweet and dry variants that  paired up with the all sorts of cheeses and made the cocktail worth the while.

It Has Been A Long While...

I do like my blog! However, I must confess, I abandoned it for a long while. So, maybe I can turn a new leaf and go back to writing? Hmm... Well, I will give it a shot. There is a whole lot to talk about, so let us get to it, shall we? " Don't Just Sit There. Do Something!" You see, I like to see businesses and people thrive. Their pain becomes my pain; their hurdles mine too. If it weren't so, why would I wake up aspiring for that morning sunshine, driven by their ambitions, teamed up with a necessity for the great pursuit. For whom; for what? Is it to be up held by the gentle relief, an ounce of 'better.' In wrapping these meandering good yet defined thoughts, I have come to the dear conclusions to roll-up sleeves of my own and all those who will and get involved. "Don't just sit there. Do something." I am reminded of that common wall paper that sits pretty in the washroom that were. If you will, manners and duty awaits.
