We are aging every day, especially after the age of 45, often feel low back pain, pain, limbs are no longer flexible, this time often suspect that they have osteoporosis, if you want to diagnose, you need to do bone density examination, it can accurately tell you whether the current bone condition is good, the risk of fracture is not large, if diagnosed with osteoporosis, you must find a way to improve bone density as soon as possible.
Bone density literally means the density of bones, you can imagine that the internal structure of the bones becomes loose, like ants gnawing, such bones are easy to break, which is why young people fall is nothing, old people wrestling may put their lives in, is because the bone density of old people and young people is far apart.
What is the normal range of bone density?
30-year-old adults peak bone density,
The normal range is between -1 and 1
If your test results are in this range, don’t worry too much. Usually, you can consciously prevent bone loss and eat more high-calcium foods. If your bone density is less than -1, it means that osteopenia, although it is not osteoporosis at present, but the risk of fracture is very large, and you should actively take measures, if you let it go, it will soon develop into osteoporosis.
Bone density less than -2.5 confirms osteoporosis,
This situation generally appears in the elderly over 65 years old, or long-term use of hormone drugs and malnutrition, these groups of people fracture risk is very large, in the usual daily life must pay attention to protect the joints, to prevent fractures, but also to use medication, exercise within their ability.
What can help us improve bone density?
Decreased bone density is very common, estrogen levels decrease in women after menopause, the amount of bone absorbed is less than the amount of bone lost, the bone is severely applied out, and slowly osteoporosis will appear, resulting in patients
Bone pain, deformation of the spine
, let the whole person
Short, hunched back
。 Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people should regularly check bone density, understand bone health through examination results, and improve bone density in time.
If your bone mass is decreasing, or osteoporosis has already occurred,
To replenish collagen in time,
It is like a large net, which can make our bones harder, and then calcium can be better deposited on the bones, gradually improving bone density. You can usually eat more collagen-rich foods, such as pork skin, goat milk, lean meat, or oral collagen rehydration, which can help improve osteoporosis.
Vitamin D is also indispensable,
Its role should be familiar to everyone, can improve calcium absorption, if your body vitamin D is insufficient, then eat more calcium tablets can not achieve the ideal effect, you can supplement vitamin D through the diet, you can also bask more sun, promote their own synthesis of vitamin D.
