Different skeletal maintenance methods for women of different ages With the gradual growth of our body is prone to bone loss, resulting in osteoporosis, bringing harm to health, so the maintenance of bones is very critical, bone maintenance is not only the homework of older people, in the young age also need to maintain, otherwise after the age of various problems will arise to life Bring impact, women in different age groups have different ways of bone maintenance! 30 ~ 39 learn to reduce stress: people in 30 to 40 years old, bone metabolism in a relatively stable period, bone loss slowly. In addition to continue to maintain good habits, but also to pay attention to the following things. Learn to reduce stress: people in this age group face double stress of life and work, cortisol and other stress hormones can inhibit bone growth and accelerate bone loss. Depression also has a similar negative impact on bones. Therefore, a good regulation of stress can help protect bone health. Get enough calcium during pregnancy: The fetus needs a lot of calcium from the mother during pregnancy. If a woman does not get enough calcium and vitamin D, her bone density will be greatly reduced later in life, seriously affecting her quality of life. Beware of drug risks: Corticosteroids for asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, etc., contain inhibitors that can damage bone health by interfering with calcium absorption. It is best to consult with your doctor before taking them and add some anti-osteoporosis drugs. 40~49 attention to chronic diseases: After the age of 40, bone quality begins to decline slowly, and in the following decade you should start to watch out for changes in your body, some chronic diseases may unknowingly stare at you. Even if you are healthy, you should start to assess your “osteoporosis risk”. Watch out for menstrual abnormalities: Irregular periods or “skipping” periods (every other month) may be a sign of perimenopause. This is the time to strengthen your strength training and proactively implement a bone protection program with calcium supplementation. The decline in bone density begins when menstruation is irregular. Beware of two “bone thieves”: hyperthyroidism, which accelerates bone loss, and type 2 diabetes, which increases the risk of fracture, are more prevalent after age 40. Assess the risk of osteoporosis: Risk factors include: having had a fracture as an adult, having a family history of osteoporosis, being too thin, smoking, and early menopause (before age 40). When you see your doctor, tell them the truth and get a bone density test if necessary. Measure bone density from 50 to 59: rapid bone loss occurs during and after menopause in women, and bone mass also declines in men, but not as much as in women. Increase calcium intake: After age 50, women should take 1.2 grams of calcium daily. Also supplement with 1000 to 1500 international units of vitamin D. Be sure to seek medical advice before supplementation. Check bone density regularly: Women should have their bone density checked every 3 to 5 years after menopause. The gold standard method for measuring bone density is the Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA), which can measure bone mass in the hip, spine or any part of the body with high accuracy and less harm to the body. Watch out for back pain: Vertebral fractures are very common in people over 50 and are easily overlooked, with symptoms often being sudden back pain. It is best to go to the hospital for examination when this occurs, as fractures can occur repeatedly without intervention. You can find your own suitable age group, find a suitable bone maintenance method, daily active maintenance of bones, to protect bone health.
