Ways to combat Osteoporosis by means of a calcium rich diet

We Interviewed CEO of the National Osteoporosis Foundation Tereza Hough. Osteoporosis is a silent but lethal disease, which often only makes itself known when the first fractures occur and is all too often underestimated as a disease. 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5men will be affected by Osteoporosis (at different stages and for different reasons) in their life times. This means that 4-6 million of South Africans are potential sufferers- many of them children who are purely nourished

Hence a calcium enriched diet is said to help combat Osteoporosis

Cape Town Refugee Centre

Later we were joined by Director of the Cape Town Refugee Centre- Christina Hender. The Centre caters to the interests and needs of vulnerable refugees and asylum seekers in the Western Cape. According to the Cape Town Refugee Centre- it must be stressed that refugees/asylum seekers are not illegal immigrants, but people who have legal rights to international protection in terms of the United Nations Refugee Conference, to which South Africa is a signatory. Refugees are people who have been forced to flee from war or persecution in their own countries. Many arrive in South Africa with nothing, as they have to flee leaving their possessions behind. The Centre plays an essential role in the transition into their host communities
