As information becomes more accessible and public health awareness becomes stronger, this underscores the fact that ordinary people lack the basic ability to discern the health commons of various screens. What pits have we met today about osteoporosis and calcium? And how to prevent osteoporosis。
The term osteoporosis is believed to have been heard by most people, but what exactly is osteoporosis? Osteoporosis is a common osteoporosis disease, which increases the flarity of the bones as a result of lower bone count in the patient's body, making it vulnerable to fractures。
Osteoporosis usually occurs among women and the elderly during menopause. According to recent studies, the probability of osteoporosis among people over the age of 60 has increased significantly and has become a common public health problem, so prevention of osteoporosis is one of the most important concerns of the medical community and the general public。
Find out what osteoporosis is, and then let's say what is wrong with the prevention of osteoporosis in everyday life。
Mistake one: does coffee cause osteoporosis
In your community of micro-trust friends, it is often seen that coffee causes osteoporosis, but is it really related to osteoporosis? By looking at a great deal of information, we find that this is completely overthought。
Not only is coffee not increasing the incidence of osteoporosis, but studies of unborn women in korea have shown that the proper consumption of coffee also has a protective bone. It should be noted, however, that if a large amount of caffeine is consumed, it may lead to a loss of calcium urine, and there will always be no benefit in excess of anything。
Miss 2: can you fix calcium with big bone soup
The question is often asked of some of the patients in the osteoporosis: doctor, can i make up for calcium when i'm broken? And this is when we say, "it's not calcium, it's fat."。
Why would we say that? It starts with anatomy of the body. The human bones are filled with bone marrow, but the marrow is of two kinds, red marrow and yellow marrow. The red marrow is more common among children, who are responsible for the blood function of our bodies, while the yellow marrow is common among adults and is full of fat。
So the soup with the big bones is a layer of fat floating. Second, to make soup with big bones, which contain little calcium, is better than eating meat。
Miss 3: can vitamin d fill calcium
This is probably the easiest to distinguish, and even the latest chinese osteoporosis treatment guide is an oath that the use of vitamin d will promote intestine absorption, the mineralization of bones, the maintenance of muscles and the reduction of the risk of falling。
However, the osteosat section of the general hospital of tianjin medical university published a study in the international leading medical journal jama (american medical association magazine), which reviewed 5145 cases of patients and concluded that vitamin d does not reduce the probability of fractures among older persons over 50 years of age and that even large doses of vitamin d supplementation increase the risk of fractures。
A study on vitamin d and osteoporosis was also published in another leading international medical journal, the lancet, which showed that vitamin d supplementation does not prevent osteoporosis and fractures. However, vitamin d is still reliable for patients with cartilage and oscillosis。
After all the errors in the prevention of osteoporosis, let's say how to prevent osteoporosis。
How to prevent osteoporosis
The key to preventing osteoporosis is calcium supplementation。
Sufficient calcium can maintain bone health and reduce calcium loss. A daily calcium intake of 800 mg is generally recommended for adults and 1,000-1200 mg for older persons over 50。
Milk should be the most common and cost-effective method, and the protein and calcium levels in dairy products are significant. Adults are generally recommended to consume 300 ml of milk or equivalent milk products per day。
A group of people who finish their milk can have diarrhoea, which we call "lactose intolerant", in which case we can choose yoghurt or not to drink milk empty。
The second is also the main prevention approach。
Especially for the middle-aged, the musculoskeletal dyslexia begins to deteriorate as age increases, and proper exercise increases muscle strength, improves balance, increases bone density and reduces the risk of fall。
Motion methods suitable for middle-aged persons include slow walking, quiet crouching, stretching the waist, tablet support, etc. It is important to stress that the movement should be sustained and the more frequent it is, the better。
If calcium intake is insufficient in the diet, the option is to be supplemented with calcium。
However, calcium supplementation is appropriate, large doses of additional calcium tablets may lead to an increased risk of rock or cardiovascular disease, and calcium is not a substitute for formal osteoporosis treatment。
For menopause women, hormone substitution therapy may have been heard. This is an effective measure to prevent post-menopausal osteoporosis in clinical mainstream, using estrogens and pregnancy hormones to reduce bone loss and risk of fracture。
It should be noted, however, that the use of hormone substitution therapy requires a detailed assessment by doctors and individualization programmes to maximize its effectiveness. And hormone substitution cannot prevent cardiovascular disease。
It is hoped that today's article will remove the mist of osteoporosis prevention and will be able to choose a truly effective and appropriate prevention approach。
