Typically, as people age, their bone mass decreases, making them more vulnerable to bone fractures. A recent study concludes that the most effective way to reduce the risk of fractures in later life is to take twice the recommended dose of vitamin D and calcium daily. The three-year study followed a group of French women in their eighties who were nursing-home residents. The women were given daily supplements of twice the recommended dose of vitamin D and calcium. In addition, the women participated in a light weightlifting program. After three years, these women showed a much lower rate of hip fractures than is average for their age.

First of all, argument that as people age, their bone mass decreases is widely accepted. Since bone weak they are more susceptible to fractures. However there are many precautions to reduce bone fractures,but argument states imperatively about imbibing vitamin C and D twice the recommended level to keep bones strong.Argument also recommend to participate in weightlifting program which is highly impractical for most people. There are no cue about what age one start taking precautions in order to keep fit and healthy bones.

Bone mass decreases as people age, there are no particular age where bone starts enervate. So loosing weight and energy depends on many more factors.A thorough analysis can reveal many more possibilities to keep oneself fit other than what suggested in passage. For example daily exercises can keep you very fit and you can retain strength of bones as well. Instead of imbibing more than prescribed vitamin tablets daily exercises is advisable. One can keep bones strong by walking, jogging and yoga.

Taking in more vitamin C and D can nourish your bones but excessive intake of vitamin can cause hyper growth which is dangerous. If a vitamin is recommended it mean that one need to imbue prescribed amount of vitamins only. So it is not advisable to intake more than prescribed amount of vitamin. For example vitamin D which is essential for dissolve fat and to nourish bone. Excessive imbue certainly have side effects. So in the age of 80 one find difficult to resist all side effects of over dosing.

Finally, Argument suggest post intake of more vitamin c and D group of people went for weight lifting program.However no where in argument implicit that " how much exercise one need to keep bones strong after intake of tablets. We can look out for alternatives. Vitamin D we can get from sun bath. By this way one can avoid side effects of excessive indulge of vitamins. So overall there are three weak points in argument.One is excessive intake of vitamin C and D is not advisable since it may have side effects. Second is that " Argument insists on exercise after intake of tablets which most people find difficult. Third argument didn't reflect "alternative ways of nourishment for bones". So these are few points makes argument very weak. Supporting evidences on above points may bring argument under scrutiny.
