1, osteoporosis how to drink tea? Tea is a traditional beverage in China. In addition to tea to quench thirst, improve appetite and help digestion, it is also helpful for the prevention of osteoporosis. Tea contains a large amount of fluorine. Fluorine is one of the indispensable elements of bone metabolism. The right amount of fluoride is conducive to the deposition of calcium, phosphorus and other inorganic salts on the bones, so that the bones have a certain strength and hardness. If the body fluoride content is too low, the phenomenon of osteoporosis will occur, such as brittle bones, soft, and even pathological fractures. Regular tea consumption can effectively supplement the fluorine deficiency in the body to prevent or slow down the occurrence and development of osteoporosis. Therefore, the elderly drink more tea for the prevention of osteoporosis has a positive effect. According to research, among more than 50 kinds of tea in the world, oolong tea and green tea in China have the highest fluorine content and the best effect in preventing osteoporosis. In addition to fluorine, tea also contains a large number of vitamin-like substances, such as vitamins A, B, C, D, E, K and so on. These vitamin-like substances are divided into two categories, vitamin B, C, etc. can be dissolved in water, known as water-soluble vitamins; vitamin A, D, E, K, etc. can only be dissolved in lipids, not in water, known as fat-soluble vitamins. When making tea, because of the relationship with bone metabolism, vitamins A and D can not be dissolved in the tea, so that the tea contains very little vitamin A and D. Therefore, people with osteoporosis should still pay attention to vitamin A and D supplements while drinking tea. It should be emphasized that long-term consumption of strong tea is not conducive to the prevention of osteoporosis, which may be related to the high level of caffeine contained in tea. This is because caffeine has the effect of promoting the excretion of calcium from the urine. Due to the increase in urinary calcium excretion, resulting in a negative balance of calcium, resulting in bone loss. 2. What are the adverse effects of alcohol abuse on the prevention of osteoporosis? Alcohol abuse can cause damage to the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract and affect the absorption of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D in the gastrointestinal tract, which is detrimental to the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. One of the basic causes of osteoporosis is the insufficient absorption of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D by the gastrointestinal tract, which leads to a lack of these substances in the body. Especially in the elderly, the function of the gastrointestinal tract gradually deteriorates, and the ability to absorb various substances is also reduced. In frequent alcoholics, the gastrointestinal tract is stimulated by alcohol for a long time and the mucosa is damaged to varying degrees, resulting in pathological reactions such as mucosal detachment, congestion, edema and erosion. These reactions affect the absorption of various substances, so that the lack of “raw materials” necessary for bone metabolism, will aggravate osteoporosis. Alcohol abuse can also cause disorders of bone metabolism and inhibit the activity of osteoblasts, which is also detrimental to the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. In addition, alcohol abuse also has certain damage to the kidneys, so that the kidneys of calcium, phosphorus and other substances to reduce the reabsorption function, resulting in increased calcium, phosphorus and other excretion from the urine, also detrimental to the formation of bones. Therefore, people with osteoporosis should avoid alcohol abuse. 3.Why should I quit smoking to prevent osteoporosis? Quitting smoking has a positive effect on preventing or delaying the onset and development of osteoporosis. (1) Quitting smoking is good for increasing the content of inorganic salts in bones, which is good for bone tissue formation and can prevent the occurrence of osteoporosis. (2) Quit smoking can prevent damage to the liver, kidneys and other vital organs from toxic substances in tobacco. The liver, kidneys and other organs are important organs that make vitamin D play a physiological role, and its reduced function is one of the causes of osteoporosis. (3) Quitting smoking increases muscle excitability and muscle strength, thus increasing whole-body activity, which is beneficial to the prevention of osteoporosis. (4) After quitting smoking, the functions of the human heart, lungs, nerves and other organs are improved, thus improving people’s physical quality as a whole and making their physical condition more healthy, which is conducive to the prevention of osteoporosis. (5) After quitting smoking, the acid-base balance mechanism in the human body is improved, so that the body gets rid of the state of mild acidosis, which is conducive to the absorption of calcium (which is alkaline).
