Saed News:Osteoporosis is a dangerous disease that should be diagnosed before any bone fractures occur.
According to the Saed News analytical news outlet, unfortunately, osteoporosisβor the decrease in bone densityβis a silent disease with no specific symptoms. In most cases, it is only diagnosed after the individual experiences a bone fracture. Bone density gradually begins to decline after the age of 30, and this process accelerates after age 50. It is estimated that half of people over 50 have some degree of bone density loss. This statistic is twice as high in women, who are especially at risk of developing osteoporosis after menopause. Those who consume little dairy for any reason are more likely to develop osteoporosis compared to others.
Exposure to sunlight three times a week for 10 minutes each time is sufficient for the body to produce vitamin D. Osteoporosis in adulthood is strongly linked to lifestyle choices made during youth. Simply put, individuals who maintain proper physical activity and a healthy diet after age 20 are less likely to suffer from osteoporosis in older age. Excessive consumption of fast food, which is high in sugar and fat, can interfere with calcium absorption.
Studies also show that heavy smoking can slow down bone formation, while alcohol and drug use can weaken the bones.
