Osteoporosis quietly "steals" your bone health, so you must be on guard!

October 20th of every year is World Osteoporosis Day, which reminds us of the impact of osteoporosis. In the eyes of the public, osteoporosis has always been a disease exclusive to the elderly, and young people don’t need to worry too much. In fact, it is not the case.

Nowadays, young people have a Coke in their left hand and a coffee in their right hand, sit every day, and lack exercise. This sub-healthy lifestyle has quietly led to bone loss. Whether the bones are healthy requires serious question marks.

How to self-diagnose osteoporosis? Pay attention to the following situations:

1. Loose teeth are easy to fall out

2. Cramps in hands and feet, general weakness

3. Insomnia and dreaminess, waking up easily at night

4. Osteoporosis, prone to fractures

5. I often feel pain in my waist and back, my body starts to hunch over, and my height decreases.

6. In severe cases, the spine may become deformed, leading to difficulty breathing

Prevention of osteoporosis:

1. Eat more foods rich in vitamin D and calcium, such as marine fish, lean meat, milk, beans, sesame seeds, dried shrimps, spinach, etc.

2. Avoid eating too much salt, as it will increase calcium loss and worsen symptoms. Eat less sugar, as it will affect calcium absorption. Avoid consuming large amounts of coffee, carbonated drinks, and strong tea, as some ingredients in strong tea will inhibit calcium absorption in the digestive tract and promote urinary calcium excretion.

3. In daily life, go to bed early and get up early, and avoid staying up late. A good lifestyle is the basis for good health and promoting absorption.

4. Do not drink excessively, as drinking will inhibit the formation of bone cells. Do not smoke, as smoking will increase blood calcium in the body and increase urinary calcium excretion, which will increase the risk of osteoporosis.

5. Do appropriate exercise according to your own situation. Walking or running can strengthen bones.

6. Get at least 20 minutes of outdoor sunlight every day on average. Outdoor sunlight exposure is an effective measure to promote the production of vitamin D, and the production of vitamin D can effectively promote the absorption of calcium in the body.

Osteoporosis is a preventable and curable chronic disease, and you need to prepare for the prevention of osteoporosis at every stage of your life. The lifestyle of infants and young people is closely related to the occurrence of osteoporosis in adulthood, so in order to avoid the harm of osteoporosis, try to develop good living habits from an early age, and don't let osteoporosis, the "silent killer", steal your bone health.
