For many years, people have pursued the concept of "drink more bone broth and supplement calcium to grow the body", which is regarded as classic common sense.
However, the reality is contrary to this notion.
A friend once focused on drinking bone broth for more than 30 years, but instead of growing at all, he had a large blob on his fingers.
The doctor's words made him regret, it turned out that his so-called "calcium supplements" were all concentrated on his hands, and he eventually got gout.
Scientific studies have proven that drinking bone broth not only does not supplement calcium, but can also lead to various problems, and it is a nightmare for people with gout and other people.
Why has this erroneous popular science knowledge been passed down for so long?
In fact, it had to do with the living conditions at the time.
In the past, life was simple and poor, meat was not readily available, and it was believed that meat was rich in nutrients and could increase physical strength after eating.
With the spread of some pseudoscience, people heard that bones and meat contain calcium, and that the body needs to absorb calcium to promote bone growth, so the misconception was formed: drinking bone broth can replenish calcium.
In the context of that time, in order to let their children get balanced nutrition, many families chose to make soup with cheaper bones.
Although the soup does not contain the calcium that everyone expects, but the oil and purines in the bones, which can cause problems such as gout.
In ancient Chinese history, soup culture has always been valued, and soup stock production has a long history.
The collagen in the soup is good for maintenance, but too much intake can lead to other problems.
Therefore, drinking the soup in moderation helps to be delicate and smooth.
However, one should not strive for perfection and choose foods carefully, especially for foods rich in purines.
At the same time, sun exposure does not directly supplement calcium, but it can promote calcium absorption.
Therefore, the classic ** of calcium supplementation should be after eating calcium-containing foods, basking in the sun, in order to get twice the result with half the effort.
Not only children, but also middle-aged and elderly people should always pay attention to the problem of calcium supplementation, especially in old age, calcium content will be reduced, and osteoporosis is prone to occur.
Correct diet and scientific conditioning are the way to health.
