Podcast with Dr Hitesh Joshi | Host: Sapna Golecha | CK Birla Hospital, Jaipur
Bone health is one of the biggest concerns today—whether it’s calcium & vitamin D supplements, menopause, running injuries, or knee replacement fears. In this podcast, Dr. Hitesh Joshi (Consultant – Orthopedics & Joint Replacement, CK Birla Hospital, Jaipur) answers common questions in a simple, practical way.
👉 Key Questions Answered in this Episode:
Should I take calcium & vitamin D supplements?
Not always! If you eat a balanced diet (milk, yoghurt, greens, eggs) and get enough sunlight, you may not need supplements. But if you are above 50, have pain, or low test results, supplements may be necessary. Unnecessary intake can cause constipation, stomach issues, or kidney stones.
Does menopause make bones weak?
Yes, hormonal changes can reduce bone strength. Women should start calcium/vitamin D intake around 40, maintain a healthy diet, and focus on weight-bearing exercises like walking, running, and strength training.
Why do marathon/regular runners face knee & leg pain?
Sudden increase in exercise frequency is a key cause. Dr. Joshi recommends proper warm-up, stretching (before & after workout), gradual progression, and rest if pain occurs.
How can young athletes avoid sports injuries?
Stretch regularly, warm up before playing, increase activity gradually, and ensure adequate calcium & vitamin D intake.
Why are people afraid of knee replacement?
Fear is common but unnecessary. Surgery is only recommended when other treatments fail. With advanced implants and modern techniques, recovery is now faster and safer.
Tips for desk jobs & daily bone health:
Stretch often, exercise in the morning, eat a calcium-rich diet, and include regular physical activity in daily life.
Takeaway: Bone health can be protected with the right diet, exercise, and timely care. Don’t fear medical help—prevention and awareness are the keys!
