Osteoporosis tips

Osteoporosis is a disease that can be managed through active prevention and control. The elderly can regularly review bone mineral density and bone metabolism indicators to assess their bone conditions and carry out refined treatment.

With the development of science and technology, people gradually realize the importance of sun protection, and various ways of sun protection emerge in endlessly. Especially young people. However, wrapped tightly, there will be a potential health problem - osteoporosis. So what's the connection?

1. The relationship between osteoporosis and vitamin D: Vitamin D is one of the most important regulatory factors to maintain bone health, which plays a role in the proliferation and differentiation of bone cells, the formation, maturation and calcification of bone matrix, etc., while exposure to sunlight through the skin is its main source, the vitamin D contained in the diet is very limited, and a large amount of vitamin D3 depends on the synthesis of skin after receiving sunlight ultraviolet irradiation.

When the body is too sun-protected and the skin is not exposed to effective sunlight, its synthesis will be affected, resulting in vitamin D deficiency. It will directly affect the absorption and utilization of calcium, accelerate the loss of calcium in the bones, reduce bone mass, reduce bone density, and then lead to a significant increase in the risk of osteoporosis.

2. It is recommended to arrange about 30 minutes of sun exposure time every day, the best time to choose between 10 and 16, for the elderly, because their body's conversion and synthesis of vitamin D decreased and increased demand, so the sun exposure time can be appropriately extended by about 10 minutes. When in the sun, try to expose your skin directly to the sun, but avoid sunburn.

3. Diet supplement diet diversification, can eat more vitamin D rich foods such as cod liver oil, egg yolk, milk, etc.; Calcium rich foods are milk, soy products, green leafy vegetables and so on. In addition, vitamin D and calcium can be properly supplemented under the guidance of a doctor.
