dc.descriptionMedical and dietetic students often co-author a column for the Daily Reflector under Dr. Kolasa's byline. The students research the topic a reader or patient has asked. Dr. Kolasa reviews their draft for technical accuracy, patient friendly language, people first language. She fact checks the study or other evidence-based reference the student provides. If a physician review is appropriate, Dr. Kolasa requests a colleague from ECU physicians to review the article. The final draft is submitted to the Reflector with the editor having the final say. The headline is written by the Reflector headline writer. The food and nutrition column has run weekly since 1987. Starting in 2020, in addition to the Daily Reflector, the article is published in daily and weekly papers owned by the Adams Publishing Group East (https://adamspg.com).
dc.description.abstractThis is a weekly Q and A newspaper column under the byline of Dr. Kathy Kolasa. Today's column explores the importance of bone health throughout life, emphasizing the role of proper nutrition and lifestyle choices in maintaining strong bones. It explains how bones develop and remodel, particularly highlighting the significance of calcium, vitamin D, and protein in bone maintenance. The article discusses common conditions like osteoporosis and osteopenia, which weaken bones, and provides dietary suggestions for improving bone health, including the benefits of the Mediterranean and DASH diets. Additionally, it stresses the importance of regular bone density testing and weight-bearing exercises for preventing bone deterioration and maintaining overall health as we age.
