The calcium in human bones is equivalent to an "ancient mining island". When you are young, it naturally increases and your bones are very hard, but as you age, you lose more calcium, which eventually leads to osteoporosis.
The first thing people with osteoporosis think of is to improve their diet and eat more calcium-rich foods, but some people have a struggle when choosing food.
Because some people think that peanuts can supplement calcium, but some people think that peanuts are high in oil and will inhibit calcium absorption.
1.Nutritional factors
If malnutrition and insufficient nutrients such as calcium and vitamin D in the body can cause osteoclast activity to be enhanced or osteogenic ability to be weakened, resulting in bone resorption faster than bone formation, and eventually bone mass decrease, resulting in osteoporosis.
2.Hormones in the body are altered
If the hormones in the body are changed, the risk of osteoporosis will also be greatly increased. For example, when a woman reaches menopause or early amenorrhea, the estrogen in the body will be significantly reduced or even not secreted estrogen, and the loss of bone mass will be accelerated, and osteoporosis will slowly form.
Therefore, postmenopausal women are prone to this disease. If men have the problem of sexual dysfunction, the testosterone level will drop significantly, which is also easy to induce osteoporosis.
3.Unreasonable diet
Calcium in the body can be excreted in the urine along with sodium, and the kidneys excrete 1000 mg of sodium to consume about 25 to 26 mg of calcium, and a high-salt diet can increase calcium consumption.
Eating too many foods high in phosphorus, such as french fries, hamburgers, and carbonated drinks, can promote calcium excretion and accelerate calcium loss. Not only does eating too much meat contribute to obesity, but excess protein can speed up calcium loss.
4.Genetic factors
Genetic factors are influencing factors in osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is more common in whites, especially Northern Europeans, followed by Asians, and less common in blacks.
Bone mineral density is an important indicator for the diagnosis of osteoporosis, and the value of bone mineral density is mainly determined by genetic factors, followed by environmental factors.
It has been reported that the difference in bone density between young dizygotic twins is 4-fold higher than that between monozygotic twins; The difference in bone density between adult dizygotic twins was 19 times higher than that of monozygotic twins.
Although peanuts are rich in calcium, they are not as easy to digest and absorb as milk, so just eating peanuts cannot really achieve the effect of calcium supplementation. In addition to the low intake of calcium, bone degeneration is also closely related to collagen and minerals.
In addition, peanuts also contain a lot of oil, if you eat a lot of peanuts, the oil in it will form fat after ingestion into the human body, and fat will affect the absorption of calcium.
For people with osteoporosis, it can be aggravated. Therefore, I also pay attention to eating peanuts, and try to choose boiled or raw peanuts.
1.Bamboo shoots
Bamboo shoots are a low-calorie, high-fiber vegetable that is loved by many people. However, the oxalic acid content in bamboo shoots is also relatively high, and long-term consumption of large amounts may affect the balance of calcium in the body. In order to prevent osteoporosis, we should also control the consumption of bamboo shoots in moderation.
2.Pickled cucumbers
It is now winter, the weather is relatively cold, and some pickled foods can be stored, so many families will pickle some cucumbers to eat every day. Although pickled cucumbers are crisp and appetizing to eat, it is important to know that a large amount of salt is added to them, and if eaten regularly, it will affect bone metabolism, which is not conducive to bone growth and induces the risk of osteoporosis.
3.Mushrooms
Many people like to add side dishes to stew pork ribs and stewed chicken, and some people like to add side dishes, such as shiitake mushrooms, fungus, kelp, etc. Mushrooms, fungus and other foods are high in phosphorus, and long-term consumption will cause an imbalance of phosphorus in bones, which will have a certain impact on bone health, and will also hinder the absorption of calcium by bones.
4.Spinach
Spinach is rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, moderate consumption of spinach can promote intestinal peristalsis, promote bowel movements, and provide the body with the nutrients it needs. The antioxidants can also eliminate free radicals in the body and promote the normal functioning of the body's organs.
However, spinach contains a lot of oxalic acid, and if it is combined with calcium in food, it is easy to form calcium oxalate stones, so it is one of the reasons why many people who like to eat vegetarian foods are prone to stone disease. Therefore, if you want to make your bones healthier and ensure calcium supplementation, you must blanch spinach with water to remove oxalic acid before eating it.
1.Get plenty of sun
Osteoporosis patients should also take proper sun exposure to the sun to maintain their bodies, which has a role in improving the condition. Because the body's ability to synthesize vitamin D is increased through sun exposure, the body's ability to absorb calcium can be enhanced when the amount of this vitamin is obtained.
Calcium will improve the condition of osteoporosis as soon as it is obtained, which is a trick that people suffering from osteoporosis need to master to maintain their body, and they will find that the condition has improved after persevering.
2.Eat plenty of calcium-rich foods
Osteoporosis is the lack of calcium in the bones, so timely supplementation is the best maintenance. Patients with osteoporosis can usually choose some calcium-rich foods to eat, such as milk, beef, beans, etc. If you pay more attention to calcium supplementation, osteoporosis can be significantly improved.
3.Resistance movement
Resistance exercise is another important form of exercise for strong bones, and we call it strength training. It has a more direct effect on the bones, making them denser and stronger.
Depending on your own situation, you may wish to try training methods such as push-ups, weightlifting, resistance bands, and weight-bearing squats, which are at least 30 minutes a day in terms of exercise time.
4.Medications**
For patients with low bone density, they should first take corresponding drugs under the guidance of a doctor**, so that they can alleviate osteoporosis in a short period of time.
In addition, we need to remind everyone that you must not believe in home remedies or blindly take medicines, otherwise it will not only not work, but will bring harm to organs such as kidneys and liver.
5.Practice good sleep habits
Sleep is an important part of our physical health, and ensuring adequate sleep every day can not only allow our liver to effectively eliminate toxins from our body, but also prevent the loss of calcium in our body.
It is recommended not to sleep less than seven hours a day, and it is recommended to fall asleep around ten o'clock every day.
