I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard this. A 25-year-old man accidentally went to the doctor and was surprised to find that he had “bones” like a 60-year-old man that young people like to do.
“Mr. Li” is a 25-year-old man who works as a computer programmer. Living in Beijing, China, one day he fell and skateboarding. When he went to the hospital, he found that his fibula was broken. And the doctor was completely surprised. After checking your bone density It was found that the age of her bones It was equal to the bone age of a 60-year-old man The patient was also surprised. Because he never thought he would have osteoporosis at such a young age.
Why did a young man who was only 25 years old have such bone deterioration?
osteoporosis It is a disease caused by metabolism. Many people mistakenly think that osteoporosis is a disease that only affects the elderly. And it is not a serious disease. But in reality, people with osteoporosis can easily fall, have fractures, lose height, and even die in severe cases. However, very few young people are aware that they have osteoporosis. This is because they do not get most people bone density test.
Dr. Jin Chenxi from the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism at Beijing Tsinghua Chang Gung Memorial Hospital pointed out that among young people, there are 5 common habits that cause osteoporosis. It makes bones age extremely quickly. Things teenagers should know to make timely changes include:
1. Not exercising enough
Most office workers spend a lot of time sitting in one place. Busy work makes you physically and mentally tired. There is hardly any time for exercise However, bones are organs that need to be “stimulated” by stimulating metabolism through exercise. Can maintain bone vitality It increases bone density and bone quality, so it is recommended for everyone to exercise regularly.
2. Lack of sunlight
The body’s absorption of calcium and phosphorus depends on the regulation of vitamin D. Vitamin D depends on ultraviolet light for conversion. But nowadays, most young people don’t have the time to go out in the sunshine. Therefore, vitamin D deficiency has become a very common phenomenon. As in the case above when the amount of vitamin D in the body is too low. Because they stay in the house most of the time. Bones are in a “scarce” state for long periods of time, so it is not surprising that bone mass decreases.
3. Drinking too much alcohol and soda.
Many office workers cannot live without tea, coffee or soft drinks, however, too much calcium can speed it up. The same thing also happens with excessive alcohol consumption.
4. Excessive weight loss
If you control your diet too much Eat only vegetarian food that does not contain meat. Limiting protein intake will cause bone quality to decrease. and risk of osteoporosis in the early stages, so appropriate measures must be taken into account Do not overdo it with any method to maintain optimal health.
5. Eat foods high in fat and salt.
High salt foods contain too much sodium. When the body excretes sodium, it also excretes more calcium. Therefore, eating too much salt can cause osteoporosis. Regarding foods that are high in fat, It increases the risk of metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes, which also have a negative effect on bones.
