I take my calcium. My bone scan shows I have real strong dense bones. Osteoporosis is prevalent in my family so I've paid careful attention to my calcium intake for most of my life.

I saw a lady this afternoon whom I hadn't seen in about 7 years. She is my age. She kept saying, wow Darcy, you look so great, you look so young. I didn't know what to say in return because I was shocked at how she looked; her face was quite wrinkled, with flesh drooping and sagging and a lot of skin blemishes. Anyway, she said she got diagnosed with osteoporosis several years ago; it is her only medical condition and she is healthy otherwise. I mention all of this because maybe low calcium ages the face too, or maybe the people who are careful with the calcium are careful with all of their nutrients and so their skin doesn't age as fast. Just a thought.
