Osteoporosis occurs when the bones become porous. The porous bones slowly weaken, and are often not diagnosed until they break. Most commonly, this fragility occurs in the wrists, hips, and spine. As the destruction of bone or reabsorption exceeds bone formation, bone mass will decrease. This is a common condition, and we usually associate it only with Calcium deficiency. There is more to this condition than we realize. We all need to know that we must teach the body how to use calcium to build healthy bones and stimulate it to produce progesterone.

Prevalence and Treatment of Osteoporosis

Anyone can be affected by osteoporosis. It is more common in people over 40. One in three women and one in five men will suffer a fracture due to osteoporosis at least once during their lifetime.

The quality of life of people with osteoporosis is reduced, they have less mobility, and their self-esteem is lower. They may also suffer from deformities, lack of independence, and even death. About 28% of men and 37% of women who sustain a hip break will die in the following year. Biogetica is working to help people who have osteoporosis live the lives they want.

Causes and Treatment of Osteoporosis

The main causes of osteoporosis or the risk factors are:

• Families with a history of osteoporosis or inherited the disease
• Early Menopause
• Calcium and/or vitamin D intake insufficient
• Before their period stops, an oophorectomy or hysterectomy is performed.
• Bed rest or inactivity for a prolonged period
• Smokers may not absorb as much calcium in their diet
• Take certain medications for a long period of time

What is Osteopenia 

Osteopenia, or low bone mass, is a warning sign. You can take steps to prevent osteoporosis and keep your bones strong. As you age, it is vital to take all the necessary precautions and actions.

Osteoporosis Symptoms

• The majority of people with osteoporosis do not show any symptoms until they suffer a fracture due to an injury, a fall, or other trauma.
• Fractures are most common on the hips, wrists, and ribs.
• Back pain is a common symptom. Pain in the back is usually acute and occurs after sudden movements such as bending, lifting weights, or climbing.
• Spinal deformity
• Loss of Height

Types and Severity of Osteoporosis

• Type I osteoporosis occurs in women after menopause due to a lack of estrogen.
• It is caused by calcium deficiency and old age. Women are more likely to suffer from it.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Osteoporosis

• You will be diagnosed during your routine check-up. You can also be diagnosed if you have certain tests done after a pathologic fracture caused by weakening bones.
• Test for bone mineral density (BMD).
• The most accurate test to determine osteoporosis is densitometry or DEXA scan.
• A generalized loss in bone density may be seen on X-ray.

Diet recommendations for osteoporosis

Recommended foods

• Magnesium and calcium are essential for the health of your bones. Foods rich in calcium include milk, cheeses, lassi, yogurts, green leafy veggies, whole grains, cereals, canned salmon and sardines (with bones), collard, turnip, and kale greens. soy milk, rice milk.
• Magnesium-rich foods include dried fruits, nuts, beetroots (including wheat germ), spinach, beet leaves, okra, and tomato products. etc…
• Consume more dried fruits and nuts for healthy bones.
• Include foods rich in vitamin D, such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, and sardines.
• Include potassium-rich foods like spinach, tomato products, and raisins.

Foods to Moderately Consume

• Patients with osteoporosis should limit their intake of foods high in oxalates. Beetroots, rhubarb, and other oxalates-rich foods are among them. It is well known that oxalate can reduce calcium absorption.
• Vitamin C-rich foods include grapefruits and oranges as well as broccoli, strawberries, brussels sprouts, papaya, pineapples, red peppers, and green peppers.

Foods you should avoid

• Avoid tea, coffee, and refined sugars.
• Avoid fried foods and processed foods. They can cause calcium loss, especially in older people.

Treatment of Osteoporosis

Exercise, dietary supplements, and medications are the three main components of osteoporosis treatment. Medicines such as calcitonin and biophosphates are available. Mineral supplements, raloxifene, and raloxifene can also be used. Most of these treatments are a failure and will only cost you more money. These conventional treatments only treat the symptoms and don’t address the root of the problem. They also come with a number of side effects.
