Consumption of adequate calcium and vitamin D

Osteoporosis is a condition whereby there is significant amount of porous partition on the surface of the bone,this disease reduces the density and quality of bone. As bones become more porous and fragile, the risk of  getting fractured is greatly increased.

In a bid to overcome or to be resistant to Osteoporosis, Consumption of adequate calcium and vitamin D is required by the body. This because Calcium performs various function which include;building strong bones, regulating heart beat and fluid balance within cells.

Monica [59]

Answer:

lagoon

Explanation:

As the estuary gets more and more sediments, the deposition of them is constantly on the rise, affecting the landscape and forming new geographical features. With the sediments constantly building up, they eventually cut off part of the water from the sea. They will form a closed pool-like feature, filled with water, and surrounded by sediments, cut off from the sea. It will have shallow water, and because the water is stagnant and shallow it will have higher temperature than the other water. This geographical feature is known as lagoon.
