Osteoporosis means diminished bone mineral density and leads to unexplained bone fractures and vertebrae due to osteoporosis.
This disease can be avoided or at least minimized by negative steps.
Here's a look at her magazine and answered questions about the major risks of osteoporosis.
Vitamin D is essential for bone health
Yes, vitamin D is necessary to stabilize calcium in bones, but the body needs sunlight to produce this vitamin. Therefore, exposure to sunlight for an hour every day, with the use of creams that protect against the negative effects of ultraviolet radiation.
- Milk derivatives prevent disease
Yes, dairy products are rich in calcium necessary for bone health. We know that bone density occurs before the age of 20. Therefore, it is recommended that all young people and teenagers focus on foods rich in calcium in order to enhance bone density as much as possible. After the age of 20, calcium supplements can be taken, of course, in combination with a healthy diet that contains enough calcium.
- Sports do not strengthen bones
Yeah. Not all sports are useful for strengthening bones. Bone is a living tissue that is constantly renewed. This regeneration is stimulated if the bones move actively during exercise. Exercises that make the foot hit the ground (such as walking, jogging, aerobics) are therefore not a useful exercise to strengthen bones.
- Some medications are useful for strengthening bones
Yeah. The hormone therapy that women adopt when they reach menopause can preserve bone mass. In the event of a significant reduction in bone density, the doctor may prescribe many drugs that help to promote bone density, note that the doctor chooses the drug according to the medical history of each woman.
- Osteoporosis may occur before the age of forty
Yeah. There are several types of osteoporosis, and the most common is that associated with aging. But there are also types of osteoporosis associated with certain genes in the body. Often, osteoporosis in young people is diagnosed following a fracture, or if routine medical examinations are performed because of a family history of osteoporosis.
- Osteoporosis affects women only
No. Men are also susceptible to this disease, albeit to a lesser extent than women. The main cause of osteoporosis is aging, combined with hormonal changes in menopausal women. Women are therefore more prone to osteoporosis.
- Osteoporosis causes pain
No. Diminished bone density does not cause any pain, but the problem silently worsens for several years. Osteoporosis is diagnosed only if there is a broken wrist, groin, or vertebra. A mammogram should be done to check for thinning.
