"One low" is fiercer than "three high"! Osteoporosis is a disease, it must be cured!

In recent years, there have been more and more reports of spontaneous fractures in young people.

Many people can break bones if they accidentally fall, dry the quilt or even sneeze.

Studies have shown that many of these fractures are associated with osteoporosis.

At present, there are 70 million osteoporosis patients in China, and the potential patients are as high as 200 million.

Osteoporosis is no longer the exclusive property of the elderly, and it should be noted that "one low" is "low bone mass" and the osteoporosis caused by it, which needs to be prevented as soon as possible.

How high is the incidence of osteoporosis?

In a way, osteoporosis is scarier than cancer.

Women are more likely to develop osteoporotic fractures in their lifetime than breast, endometrial and ovarian cancers combined; Men are more likely to develop osteoporotic fractures than prostate cancer in their lifetime.

The World Health Organization has listed osteoporosis, diabetes, and cardiovascular system diseases as the "three major killers" that endanger the health of middle-aged and elderly people.

Why do people develop osteoporosis?

If human bones are compared to buildings, the main building materials are calcium, collagen, etc. 

Construction workers and demolition workers work together: osteoblasts help promote bone formation; Osteoclasts destroy old bone.

Before the age of 30, human osteoblasts are significantly stronger than osteoclasts, with rapid bone growth and less bone loss.

At this point, bone formation is greater than bone loss, usually reaching a lifetime peak bone mass at the age of 30-35.

After the age of 30, the growth rate of human bones begins to slow down.

Osteoblasts become less and less active, and the role of osteoclasts will gradually come up and become stronger, resulting in less bone formation and less bone loss.

Osteoporosis can occur when bone mass "cannot make ends meet".

So it's best to prevent osteoporosis while you're young!

How can I tell if I have osteoporosis?

Pain, hunchback, short stature, and fractures are manifestations of osteoporosis.

Pain: mild cases have no obvious manifestations, severe ones are mainly diffuse back pain, limb bone pain, fatigue, often aggravated after fatigue and activity.

Body shape changes: 

Osteoporosis can lead to shortened, hunched backs, and some are not only abnormal, but also affect normal cardiopulmonary function.

Fractures: fractures predispose to minor activity, trauma, bending, weight bearing, crushing, or falling; Fractures are common in the spine, hip, and forearm.

In fact, when more than one of these symptoms occurs, osteoporosis is already quite serious, and many people with osteoporosis often do not feel significantly different in the early stages of the disease.

Three magic weapons for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis

First, correct scientific calcium supplementation

Eat foods high in calcium: such as milk, soy products, nuts, shrimp skin, etc.

Calcium supplementation: The recommended daily calcium intake is 1000 mg for menopausal and elderly women and 800 mg for adults. 

Do not take calcium and iron at the same time, they will affect each other. 

Due to low gastric acid secretion, the elderly and infants should not choose inorganic calcium such as calcium carbonate, but organic calcium such as calcium citrate.

Second, often bask in the sun

The body needs the participation of vitamin D to absorb calcium, and if vitamin D is insufficient, it is useless to supplement more calcium.

10% of the body's vitamin D comes from food and 90% from the skin, so it is important to bask in the sun.

3. Scientific movement

Appropriate mechanical stimulation and weight-bearing are beneficial to maintain bone reconstruction, repair bone microdamage, and avoid microinjury accumulation and fracture.

However, the most physically fit astronauts also experience bone loss after a few months of weightless flight in space.

Therefore, reasonable exercise is very meaningful for increasing bone mass.

Of course, it also reminds the elderly, especially those with osteoporosis, to pay attention to the way and safety of exercise.

At the same time, it can continuously strengthen bones through walking, jogging, tai chi and other items that mobilize the muscle tissue activity of the whole body; However, patients should avoid exercises that have too many flexive movements such as yoga, Pilates, swimming, and cycling.
