My comments for 2010-07-03 test results:

My bone density has become worse since last test.

Reasons: I have not been taking daily dosage of calcium with vitamin D to 1500 mg and has not cut down my coffee after my last report for the test on 2007-09-08.

Actions to be taken after 2009-07-10:

(a) I must increase my daily dosage of calcium with vitamin D to 1500 mg

(b) Cut down my coffee to one cup a day.

(c) Practice Ping Shuai Gong ( a kind of simple Qi Gong) at least 30 minutes daily.
