Although bones are invisible and intangible in the body, they greatly affect our physical health and daily activities. Look at the older elderly people, they are clearly clever and clear-eyed, but why are they sagging in wheelchairs? Most of them ignore the protection of bones in their early years.
Osteoporosis is a type of bone disease and is also a disease that is high in middle-aged and elderly people. Because of its high incidence, many people think that this is a disease that normal elderly people will have, especially middle-aged and elderly women after menopause .
Currently, there are about 80 million osteoporosis patients in my country, with a high incidence of 200 million potential patients. There were no obvious clinical symptoms when this disease first occurred, so now it has been given a new name - a quiet "epidemic disease"!
In everyone's eyes, osteoporosis is a common middle-aged and elderly disease. Why do we focus on today? Of course, it is also because the impact of this disease on the body cannot be underestimated.
is still caused by osteoporosis. What impact will it have on the body?
suffers from osteoporosis because some adverse factors cause the continuous loss of bone mass , causing pain and deformation of bones. It is serious that it causes fracture , affecting physical health and daily walking and activities in the future. It is not impossible to spend a day with a wheelchair all day.
Severe bone delivery patients will experience compression fractures of the vertebral body, resulting in "shrinking" height, hunchback, chest crotch deformity, affecting the functions of the heart and lungs, and patients will also feel that abdominal pain, abdominal distension, constipation, etc. are not feelings.
The most common fracture caused by osteoporosis is spinal fracture , proximal humeral fracture, hip fracture, etc. Among them, hip fractures are nicknamed - - "fatal fracture" . It is because if the hip bone is broken, most of the patients with fractures will spend the rest of their lives in bed. If the body is unable to move, it will also increase the risk of suffering from pneumonia, urinary tract infection, and other diseases, and even multi-organ failure.
It can also be said that the scary thing is not osteoporosis, but the failure to prevent osteoporosis well, or other diseases caused by not being properly conditioned after suffering from osteoporosis is the most terrible. Therefore, you have to prevent the disease of osteoporosis! Prevention is more important than calcium supplementation!
There are three symptoms of the body, or osteoporosis, which is warning you!
①: Back pain, back pain
Found that you will feel pain even if you turn over in bed. When you get up from the bed, or walk for a long time, do some heavy work, etc., you will feel pain in your back. In severe cases, you will feel pain in your whole body.
②: Fracture
This is a serious complication caused by osteoporosis, because the decrease in bone mass leads to bone blockage and necrosis of bone mass, causing joints to not bear the weight of the body intact, causing fractures. If you are a word, in daily life, you often suffer from slight external force impacts on the body's bones, and you may have suffered from osteoporosis.
③: Hunchback
The loss of bone mass will naturally affect the body shape. The spinal vertebrae is burdened by the weight of the upper body and will be slowly "bent". As the osteoporosis worsens, the hunchback bending will become larger, especially for the elderly.
finds that I have any of the above symptoms, so take it seriously. For example, middle-aged and elderly people, don’t think that your back is sore and hunched back is a normal sign of age. It may be osteoporosis. It is nothing bad to pay attention to your physical health. It is recommended to go to the hospital for bone density examination, and the doctor will make some suggestions and conditioning based on your physical condition.
Especially for the elderly, women after menopause, they have a strong diet, rarely get in contact with sunlight, rarely exercise, smoke and drink alcohol for a long time, and drink coffee frequently.
Confirmed osteoporosis, these suggestions and methods can be tried!
Many people believe that suffering from osteoporosis means that the bones have become brittle. They adhere to the idea of "rest and cultivate at home, let alone exercise. In fact, this idea is correct according to the principle of "sickness and needing rest", but osteoporosis is not so fragile. Patients with loosening should strengthen outdoor exercise, especially outdoor exercises with sun, , can be walking, jogging, and Tai Chi. Even if you just sit and bask in the sun, it is better than staying at home. Under the nourishment of the sun, can supplement the body with vitamin D to promote the body's absorption of calcium . However, some serious patients should not exercise if they avoid fractures. At the same time, they can arrange a crutch for themselves to prevent falling. If they have osteoporosis, they will not fall. At the same time, some heavy objects don’t need to be moved anymore, otherwise there will be a term for osteoporosis called “wife’s disease” and “master disease” among the people.
Calcium substance is the main substance necessary for bones. It is not enough to be sunbathed alone. You can eat more calcium-containing foods in your daily diet, such as pork, milk, shrimp skin, kelp, etc., keep a lighter taste . Excessive salt intake will affect the body's absorption of calcium.
But for some severe delivery patients, the doctor will also take some calcium supplements to the missing calcium content in the body after examination.
In short, osteoporosis is not necessarily a disease of the elderly. Nowadays, osteoporosis is becoming younger and younger due to the influence of all aspects of life. Therefore, it is necessary to check the bone density during physical examination.
