Bhavan Vidyalaya Panchkula were the organisers of a Bone Density Camp in Collaboration with Health Plus on April 15, 2012. Under this camp 89 staff members were tested by BMD machine to know their 'T' Score value. By this 'T' score value, the school doctors evaluated the bone density of those tested and filtered the cases as normal, osteopenic or osteoporoses. According to the diagnosis, dietary supplements rich in calcium like almonds, ragi, soyabeen, milk, cheese, fenugreek, beetroot etc. were suggested. The doctor advised regular exercise and calcium supplements for the cases of osteopenia and osteoporosis. The camp was highly informative and was a great success.
