SAEDNEWS: Osteoporosis is a dangerous disease that should be diagnosed before any bone fractures occur.
According to SaedNews, osteoporosis, or reduced bone density, is unfortunately a silent disease with no specific symptoms. Most cases are diagnosed only after a bone fracture has occurred. Bone density gradually decreases after the age of 30, and this process accelerates after the age of 50. It is said that half of individuals over 50 have some degree of reduced bone density. This statistic is twice as high in women compared to men, and women are more susceptible to osteoporosis after menopause. Individuals who consume fewer dairy products for any reason are at a higher risk of developing osteoporosis compared to others.
Exposure to sunlight for 10 minutes three times a week is sufficient for the production of vitamin D. Osteoporosis in adulthood is closely linked to lifestyle habits in youth. Simply put, individuals who maintain adequate physical activity and a healthy diet after the age of 20 are less likely to develop osteoporosis in later years. Excessive consumption of fast food, which is high in sugar and fat, can interfere with calcium absorption. Research shows that heavy smoking can slow down bone formation, and the consumption of alcohol and drugs can also weaken bones.
