Osteoporosis is a common bone disease that causes bone density to decrease and bone thinning, which makes bones brittle and brittle. Osteoporosis is a silent disease that often fractures occur without any symptoms.
Osteoporosis is a serious health problem for older people because bones gradually lose their density and strength as they age. In order to prevent and ** osteoporosis, we need to take a series of measures.
By maintaining a healthy lifestyle, a sensible diet, and proper exercise, we can protect our bone health and reduce our risk of developing osteoporosis. For people who already suffer from osteoporosis, it is crucial to seek timely medical attention and receive professional treatment** and management.
First, let's take a look at what "hair" is. In TCM theory, "hair matter" refers to those foods that tend to cause the onset or aggravation of diseases. However, this concept is not widely recognized in modern medicine. In fact, no food is absolutely good or bad, the key is the intake and the combination.
Regarding the relationship between peanuts and osteoporosis, some people believe that peanuts have a high content of oxalic acid, which will combine with calcium to form insoluble calcium oxalate, which affects calcium absorption and thus aggravates the risk of osteoporosis. However, there is no scientific basis for this claim. In fact, the right amount of oxalic acid does not have much of an impact on calcium absorption, and peanuts are also rich in nutrients that help with bone health, such as vitamin K and magnesium.
Let's take a look at the relationship between peanuts and cancer. Some people think that certain components in peanuts may promote the development of cancer. However, this claim also lacks scientific support. In fact, many studies have shown that eating peanuts in moderation can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and certain cancers.
In summary, there is no scientific basis for considering peanuts as the "hair product" of osteoporosis and cancer. Peanuts are a nutritious food, and eating them in moderation is good for health. We should look at all kinds of foods rationally and avoid excessive panic or picky eating. Maintaining a balanced diet while strengthening exercise and regular check-ups can truly achieve a long and healthy life.
1. Spoiled and moldy peanuts
If not stored properly, Aspergillus flavus can grow in peanuts and develop a highly toxic and highly carcinogenic metabolite called aflatoxin. This substance causes peanuts to spoil quickly and spreads toxins throughout the peanuts. Aspergillus flavus, the ubiquitous fungal pathogen, produces aflatoxin which it is recognized as the strongest biological carcinogen in the world. As early as 1993, the World Health Organization (WHO) has listed it as a clear carcinogen. According to a study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, 80% of liver cancer cases are related to aflatoxins. Among them, aflatoxin B1, the most toxic, is metabolized through three pathways, including epoxidation, after the human blood circulates to the liver. This process produces a very strong 2,3-epoxy aflatoxin, which binds to guanine in DNA, causing DNA damage and apoptosis of liver cells. Statistics show that mutations in the tumor suppressor p53 gene have been found in 50% of liver cancer cases.
In fact, many common foods and items, such as improperly stored cereals, homemade peanut oil, long-cooked rice, unwashed wooden chopsticks and cutting boards, may provide an environment for Aspergillus flavus to grow. 2. Deep-fried peanuts
The enticing aroma of fried peanuts is intoxicating, thanks to their abundance of vegetable fats. However, frying makes it taste better at the expense of the original nutritional value of peanuts.
Excessive intake of these extra fats can place a heavy burden on our digestive tract, leading to symptoms such as indigestion, nausea, acid reflux, and more. Therefore, despite the delicious taste of fried peanuts, we still need to consume them in moderation to avoid potential health risks.
Diabetics – Peanuts contain a lot of fat and protein, which can raise blood sugar, and are not suitable for diabetics.
Patients with high uric acid - peanuts have a high purine content, which can easily lead to an increase in uric acid and aggravate symptoms such as gout, so it is not suitable for patients with high uric acid.
Patients with liver disease - The protein in peanuts needs to be catabolized by the liver, and for patients with liver disease, too much protein will increase the burden on the liver, which is not conducive to recovery.
Patients with gastrointestinal diseases - The oils and proteins in peanuts are difficult to digest, and for patients with gastrointestinal diseases such as gastritis and gastric ulcers, it may aggravate symptoms and is not conducive to recovery.

1. Amaranth
Amaranth, which seems to be a home-cooked vegetable, is actually a hidden mystery. To some extent, amaranth can be called a "bone blacklist" vegetable that inhibits calcium absorption. This is not groundless, but due to the large amount of oxalic acid contained in amaranth. For every 100 grams of amaranth, it contains up to 1586 mg of oxalic acid, which is far more than the 970 mg of spinach.
Oxalic acid is like a bonder, quietly combining with calcium to form calcium oxalate precipitation that is difficult to melt. This process is like "tethering" calcium, making it difficult for the stomach and intestines to absorb, which in turn affects the uptake of calcium by the bones. As a result, amaranth has invisibly become the first killer that affects bone health.
2. Pickled radish
In the early morning, a bowl of porridge and a plate of pickled radish are plain but enough to satisfy the taste buds. However, pickled radishes do not seem to be compatible with calcium. It contains a large amount of salt, like a passerby, and although it is harmless, it leaves a mark on the human body.
An excess of sodium in the blood, like a naughty child, causes the body to expel it automatically. But in this game, calcium is a victim. With the loss of sodium, the loss of urinary calcium also quietly increases, and the calcium in the bones is also silently lost.

1. Exercise regularly
After osteoporosis, the bones become fragile, and many people think that resting is a better option. However, this is not the case. Resting can exacerbate bone problems and deprive the bones of essential exercise and stimulation. On the contrary, depending on the individual's physical fitness and physical tolerance, appropriate exercise is a more beneficial choice.
Proper exercise stimulates the vitality of bone cells, prompting them to absorb nutrients more actively. This kind of exercise can make the bones harder and avoid disuse osteoporosis caused by long-term rest. In addition, regular exercise gives us the opportunity to be exposed to sunlight and synthesize vitamin D, which is also essential for bone health. Therefore, for patients with osteoporosis, proper exercise can not only keep the bones alive, but also effectively prevent the further development of osteoporosis. Let's enjoy exercising while maintaining good health!2. Insist on calcium supplementation
Calcium supplementation is an important part of maintaining good health. Calcium is one of the essential minerals for the human body, which plays a vital role in maintaining bone health, nerve conduction, muscle contraction, and more. However, with age, the body's ability to absorb calcium gradually declines, which can easily lead to osteoporosis, fractures and other problems. Therefore, it is particularly important for middle-aged and elderly people to adhere to calcium supplementation.
It's important to note that more calcium isn't always better. Excessive calcium intake may lead to some health problems such as indigestion, kidney stones, etc. Therefore, in the process of calcium supplementation, it should be supplemented in an appropriate amount according to the doctor's advice and your own situation. At the same time, more sunlight and moderate exercise can also help the body absorb and utilize calcium.
