Osteoporosis (osteoporosis) is a systemic bone disease that results in a decrease in bone density and quality, destruction of bone microarchitecture, and increased bone fragility due to multiple causes, making it prone to fractures. Osteoporosis is divided into two major categories: primary and secondary. Primary osteoporosis is divided into postmenopausal osteoporosis (type I), senile osteoporosis (type II) and idiopathic osteoporosis (including adolescent type). Postmenopausal osteoporosis generally occurs in women within 5 to 10 years after menopause; senile osteoporosis generally refers to osteoporosis occurring in the elderly after the age of 70; and idiopathic osteoporosis mainly occurs in adolescents, the cause of which is still unknown. What lifestyles prevent osteoporosis? 1, quit smoking Smoking is the main cause of pneumonia, bronchitis, asthma and lung cancer and other respiratory diseases, smoking is harmful to bone health mechanism may be related to the nicotine in tobacco can increase bone resorption and inhibit bone formation. If you smoke 20 cigarettes a day, after 25-30 years, bone mass will decline by 8-10%, a woman who started smoking at the age of 18, the bone mass at menopause is one standard deviation lower than that of non-smokers, and the risk of fracture is doubled. 2, abstain from alcohol Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to osteoporosis, increasing the risk of fracture, beer and distilled spirits to osteoporosis is obvious, the role of wine is not obvious, ethanol causes osteoporosis is a variety of reasons, mainly related to the inhibition of osteoblast function; affect the secretion of sex hormones, interference with vitamin D metabolism and PTH secretion. 3, avoid excessive consumption of coffee and carbonated beverages Caffeine can stimulate bone resorption to reduce the affinity of the bone matrix for calcium salts, people who like to drink coffee must pay attention to calcium supplements, so that the daily calcium intake meets or exceeds the RDA standards. Drinking carbonated beverages such as soda, cola, Sprite, etc. is also not conducive to bone health, remind everyone to pay attention to the beverage category, especially in the induction, try to consume less carbonated beverages, drink more dairy products and mineral water. 4, reasonable nutrition Daily life should develop good eating habits, pay more attention to the nutritional value of food, reasonable meal preparation, from the perspective of bone health. 5.Frequent participation in outdoor activities and increased sunlight The 7-dehydrocholesterol present in human skin can be transformed into vitamin D3 under the exposure to ultraviolet light The skin formation of vitamin D is the main source of the vitamin, frequent participation in outdoor activities and increased sun exposure can effectively prevent vitamin D deficiency. This is especially true for children and the elderly. As dietary intake of vitamin D is low. More attention should be paid to increasing sunlight to prevent osteoporosis in the elderly and rickets in children. 6, often participate in physical activities and moderate exercise Physical activity or exercise can make the body’s endocrine positive changes, improve the level of sex hormones in the body, promote bone metabolism, often participate in outdoor activities, can receive sufficient sunlight, so that the skin formation of vitamin D increased. Promote the absorption of calcium in the gastrointestinal tract. Many research data show that regular participation in sports can improve bone density, and standing can increase the stimulating effect of gravity on bone. Middle-aged and elderly people adhere to exercise can delay the loss of bone calcium. It should be reminded that the elderly should pay attention to the way of exercise. Such as being able to walk, practice tai chi, etc. Keep standing activities in more than 4 hours a day. 7, sex hormones and bone metabolism is closely related to promote bone growth and development, slow bone loss, some foreign scholars believe that normal sex life increases the level of sex hormones in the body, while healthy and appropriate sex life can regulate the mood of people, is conducive to enhancing physical and mental strength, and prolong life.
