If you neglect exercise at a young age and pick and choose food and diet, it will lead to a decrease in calcium intake in the diet and the inability to achieve the ideal peak of bone quantity and quality, which will lead to osteoporosis quietly arriving.
The White Paper on Osteoporosis on The Continent states that at least 70 million people on the mainland suffer from this disease, and 210 million people have a bone mass below normal and are at risk of osteoporosis.
Due to the increasing number of sick people, but there are still many people who do not understand this disease, it is easy to aggravate the disease, then, what are the misunderstandings of osteoporosis?
First, mistakenly believe that drinking more bone broth can prevent osteoporosis
There is an old saying about what to eat and what to supplement, which makes many osteoporosis patients think that bone broth is the first choice for calcium supplementation.
In fact, the calcium content in milk is much higher than bone broth, and for the elderly, bone broth can dissolve many fats in bones, and often eating it can easily lead to other health problems.
Therefore, in order to prevent osteoporosis, it is necessary to ensure a varied diet, eat less greasy and high-fat foods, and consume some foods rich in calcium.
Second, mistakenly believe that osteoporosis is easy to fracture and can not exercise
Many people think that osteoporosis is easy to cause fractures and cannot exercise, but in the long run, it will lead to bone loss and osteoporosis, such as long-term bedridden or fracture fixed patients will suffer from osteoporosis.
Therefore, physical exercise has a good effect on the prevention of osteoporosis, and if you do not exercise actively, your muscle strength will decrease, which will affect bone function.
Third, the mistaken belief that disease can be judged by self-perception
Many people think that if you are in good health and your bones are not painful or itchy, you will not suffer from osteoporosis, which is not correct because you cannot judge osteoporosis by relying on self-perception.
After all, most people with osteoporosis have no abnormal sensations or no obvious sensations in the early to mid-term period, and by the time low back pain or fractures are found, it is too late to confirm and treat them.
Clinically, the early diagnosis of the disease depends on bone density and quantitative CT tests, but the elderly who have a course of more than 10 years need to be judged by X-ray examination.
Fourth, it is mistaken to think that only the elderly suffer from osteoporosis, which has nothing to do with young people
Osteoporosis is not the patent of the elderly, if young people do not insist on exercise, the diet is very picky, and the diet structure is unbalanced, it will lead to a reduction in calcium intake in the diet, physical weakness, a long time, it will increase the probability of osteoporosis.
Fifth, mistakenly think that to improve osteoporosis, just need to supplement calcium
Simply put, osteoporosis is caused by abnormal bone metabolism (osteoclasts in the human body have a greater influence than osteoblasts, and bone resorption exceeds the rate at which bone is formed).
At this time, we need to pay attention to the fact that the improvement of osteoporosis is not something that can be achieved by calcium supplementation alone, but a general treatment that requires improved bone mass, bone strength enhancement and fracture prevention.
In other words, it is important to adjust diet, rationally use drugs, adhere to exercise, and do a good job in preventive functions.
Sixth, mistakenly believe that age is the main cause of osteoporosis
In fact, age is only one of the causes of osteoporosis, and sometimes people with immune diseases (such as lupus erythematosus and rheumatoids) need to be treated with glucocorticoids, which is also important to cause secondary osteoporosis.
In addition, factors such as drinking carbonated beverages, coffee (more than 2 cups per day), drinking alcohol, smoking, and reasonable weight loss, as well as long-term limb inactivity due to injury, surgery, etc., can lead to waste osteoporosis.
People with a family history of osteoporosis are advised to go to the hospital for examination at the age of 30-40 to learn about bone density and determine whether to undergo medical treatment.
For people without family history, female friends should have their bone density checked once during perimenopause, and male friends should check regularly after the age of 45. Only by understanding more about the pathological knowledge of osteoporosis is it more conducive to analyzing the relevant misunderstandings of the disease.
