Why is it that people’s living conditions are getting better and better, but the chances of young people suffering from bone and joint diseases are getting higher and higher? In short, it is because of eating more and moving less, long-term high-energy, ill-structured diet, increased work pressure, accelerated pace of life, irregular living, car instead of walking, long-viewing computer and TV, etc., which lead to more and more young people suffering from gout, cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation, osteoporosis, patellar chondromalacia, femoral head disease, frozen shoulder, etc., all of which used to be possible only after old age. Diseases. Bone is an organ of the body that is both stingy and generous. The difference between the two is whether it moves or not. Bone plays the role of protection, support and movement for the body. Bone is connected to joints and muscles that allow the body to produce various activities. In addition, bone marrow has the function of blood production. Long-term lack of exercise not only causes serious degeneration of the human body organs and triggers various physical diseases, but also prevents timely relief from the stress suffered in a highly stressful society to the extent that neurological and mental diseases occur. For millions of years human beings have survived and developed by physical labor, and the inertial direction of human heredity is to keep the human body adapted to a state of heavy physical labor. In other words, the human production method is physical labor characterized by muscle contraction as its essence. The most obvious changes in the morphology of the bones through traditional physical exercise are: the increase in the size of the bony protrusions at the muscle attachments, the thickening of the dense outer layer of the bone, and the distribution of the inner layer of the cancellous material to adapt to the action of muscle tension and pressure. These changes, which make the bone stronger, allow the bone to bear greater loads, that is, these changes improve the mechanical properties of the bone to resist fracture, bending, compression, elongation and torsion. At the same time, many bones in the body are connected to each other in a variety of joints. The joints are surrounded by ligaments and muscles, and the ligaments strengthen the joints, while the muscles not only strengthen the joints, but mainly cause joint movement. Due to long-term work tension and long duration of computer use, etc.
The cervical and lumbar spine diseases are becoming younger at an alarming rate, seriously affecting people’s physical and mental health! The incidence rate in China is as high as 15.9%, and rising year by year! If not treated in time, it can lead to hypertension, stroke, incontinence, and even lifelong paralysis of the cervical and lumbar spine! Clinical statistics show that more than 40% of the cervical and lumbar spine has restricted movement; 60% of them will produce cervical and lumbar spine lesions, compressing the nervous system and causing disease; about 10%-15% of patients will eventually develop spinal cord compression, which may cause paraplegia! For this reason, the relevant departments and experts call: can not let the cervical and lumbar spondylosis again so rampant, prevention and treatment of cervical and lumbar spondylosis can not wait! Gout used to occur in the elderly, but now there is also a trend of youth, if you suddenly feel severe pain in the toes, maybe it is gout in the secret. Gout is caused by a disorder in the metabolism of a substance called purine in the body, and is a metabolic disease closely related to life. The incidence of gout is increasing as people’s diets change, especially among young people between the ages of 20 and 40, who have a diet high in energy and purine substances. Most of them have a habit of drinking alcohol and eating meat, animal offal, seafood and other purine-rich foods before the onset of the disease. Prevention of gout starts with diet, eating less or no food with high purine content, such as pig and other kinds of animal offal, sardines, crab, shrimp, spinach, beans, soy products, mushrooms, cauliflower, beef, mutton, ham, sausage, chicken, duck, goose, rabbit, etc. Eat less salt, do not drink alcohol, obese people should control their weight, keep a happy mood, do not overexert yourself. Strong bones are necessary for physical activity, and osteoporosis can greatly increase the incidence of fractures. In the process of bone growth and development, from the appearance seems to be very calm, but in fact the bones are in constant reconstruction throughout life, that is, the old bone is constantly destroyed and absorbed, and constantly grow and build new bone. Exercise is an important factor in making bones strong. Bone is a living organ, full of vitality. It not only promotes its own growth with a vigorous metabolism, produces a variety of blood cells to support the body’s life activities, but also enables the body to perform a variety of movements with its extraordinary talent – leverage. Physical exercise accelerates blood circulation and increases the blood supplied to the organs of movement (muscles, bones and joints), at which point the bone receives more nutrients, causing changes in the structure and performance of the bone. This is expressed as an increase in bone density and thickening of the bone. The arrangement of the bone structure is more regular due to the pull of the muscles and external forces, which strengthens the solidity of the bone. Regular exercise makes the ligament attachment site on the bone become thicker, which are conducive to muscle and ligament more firmly attached to it. All these changes are conducive to the bones to withstand greater external forces, which means that the bending resistance, fracture resistance and compression resistance of the bone is improved. Regular participation in physical exercise, mechanical force on the bone in the calcium deposition and extremely good effect. Adults to participate in physical exercise, although not to make the body taller, but also can make the bones more thick and strong. In short, people of different ages as long as they adhere to the regular, diverse physical exercise, can receive the effect of strengthening the bones. However, it must be persistent. Scientific research has proven that there are many factors that affect bone growth and development. Regular physical exercise in the sun is extremely beneficial to promote bone growth and enhance bone quality. Different exercise programs have different effects on bone. Performing some weight-bearing exercises, such as walking, running, playing tennis, climbing stairs and hiking, are particularly effective in increasing the strength of bones; while non-weight-bearing exercises such as cycling, rowing and swimming, as well as weight-bearing without muscle activity, are relatively less effective. Proper nutrition, exercise and correction of poor dietary habits are the keys to prevention. In addition, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamin C. Vitamin C can promote the absorption of calcium, which is beneficial to the formation of bone matrix. Follow a diet low in phosphorus, salt and sugar, and quit smoking, limit alcohol and drink less coffee to eliminate obstructive factors in the absorption of calcium. Receiving more sunlight can promote the synthesis of vitamin D3, thus increasing the absorption of calcium from the small intestine. You should try to bring your skin into direct contact with the sunlight and not “sunbathe” through the glass. When sunbathing, be careful to stop immediately if your skin becomes red and sweats excessively. When choosing calcium tablets, you should not only look at the advertisements, but also listen to the advice of a specialist. Neither aerobic exercise nor participation in light physical activity has a significant effect on the bone mineral density of the subject, but muscle strength and excess abdominal fat tissue are associated with bone mineral density.
During physical exercise, blood circulation is accelerated and muscles and bones can receive more nutrients. As a result, the muscle fibers become thicker and larger, the elasticity increases, and the ability of muscle activity and endurance increases accordingly. After long-term exercise, ligaments are stronger and joints move more flexibly. Through the proliferation of bone cells, bone growth is promoted and calcification is accelerated, resulting in firmer bones. Experts have given us good advice: fast-paced life without chaos; three meals to ensure smart arrangements, a variety of food not picky; chicken, duck, fish and meat in moderation; vegetables and fruits meal has; do not advise smoking and alcohol at your own discretion; take time to run in the busy; sunshine and rain to protect health. In short, many diseases are caused by the unhealthy lifestyle of modern people, and the solution lies in saying goodbye to the unhealthy lifestyle, balanced diet and reasonable exercise.
