Key Terms / Vocabulary:
Bok choy: A leafy green vegetable, a little like lettuce,
often used in Chinese cooking. It may also be spelled
bok choi.
Bone density: The thickness of a bone, or the amount of
bone tissue in a given amount of bone. Dense bones are
solid, strong bones.
Bone mass: The weight and thickness of our bones. When
our bones are heavy and thick we have strong skeletons.
Bone renewal: Our bones are always changing to help
keep them strong and healthy. Bone renewal is when old
bone cells are removed and new bone cells are made to
replace them. Old bone cells are removed by special bone
cells called osteoclasts, and new bone cells are made by
osteoblasts.
Bone-building: When new bone cells are made in your
body and added to your skeleton, your bones are made
thicker and stronger.
Bone-healthy foods: Foods that have key nutrients such as
calcium and/or vitamin D that help the body build strong
bones. Milk, chocolate milk, cheese, yogurt, soy beverage,
tofu and canned salmon with bones are good examples.
Brittle bones: Bones that are not thick or strong. Brittle
bones break easily.
Calcium: A very important bone-building nutrient. Calcium
is a mineral that helps to make our bones and keep them
strong. Most of the calcium in our bodies is stored in our
bones and teeth. We get calcium when we have foods such
as milk, yogurt, cheese, soy beverage, canned salmon with
bones and tofu fortified with calcium.
bones.
Fortified soy beverage: A drink made from soybeans, with
calcium and vitamin D added.
Fracture: To crack, split or break something, such as a
bone. Bones that do not get enough bone-building
materials, such as calcium and vitamin D, may fracture
more easily.
Geriatric: A medical word used to describe things related
to people who are old or elderly.
Joints: The places where bones are connected to each
other. For example, your elbows, wrists, knees, ankles and
hips are all joints.
Kefir: A drink made of fermented milk. It is similar to a
yogurt drink, but it has bubbles. It may be flavoured or
unflavoured. Kefir is common in Eastern Europe.
Lactose: A natural sugar found in milk.
Lactose intolerance: A term used to describe the
symptoms someone may feel because of a decreased
ability to digest the natural sugar (lactose) in milk. It is
not an allergy.
Magnesium: A bone-building nutrient. Magnesium is a
mineral we get when we eat foods such as whole grains,
green leafy vegetables, nuts, meat, milk, yogurt, kefir and
some cheeses.
Media: A form of communication that includes audio,
visual, audio-visual, print and electronic materials.
Examples are television, movies, newspapers, radio,
magazines, billboards and the Internet.
Minerals: A group of nutrients that our bodies need only
tiny amounts of to grow and be healthy. When we eat the
type and amount of food described in Eating Well with
Canadas Food Guide, we get all the minerals we need.
Muscles: A type of body tissue that we can move. We can
tighten, relax, and stretch our muscles. When muscles
move they cause parts of the body to move.
Nutrients: Substances in food that help our bodies be
healthy. The nutrient groups are vitamins, minerals,
protein, fat and carbohydrates. We need more than 50
different nutrients every day to be healthy. When we eat
