WHAT ARE THE CAUSES BONE RESORPTION?
Osteoporosis, known as bone decoction, is one of the most common diseases in the world. Especially today, one in every 4 women and 8 men over the age of 60 can experience this disease. So, what should we do for bone resorption? Here are ways to protect against osteoporosis, that is, bone resorption…
Physical therapy and Rehabilitation Specialist Prof. Dr. also says that fractures can occur even with a slight fall or a sudden tilt forward, “fractures can lead to severe pain that reduces the quality of life, create a disability, even cause a person to remain dependent on bed for a long time,” he says. Therefore, it is vital to protect against osteoporosis.
Advancing age, being a woman, and genetic factors are the risks of this disease that cannot be changed. Osteoporosis can be largely prevented when precautions are taken against risk factors that can be changed, such as mistakes in life and eating habits.

SO, WHAT FACTORS NEGATIVELY AFFECT BONE HEALTH?
Turkey Medicals member and Turkish Physical therapy and Rehabilitation Specialist Prof. Dr. explained the factors that lead to osteoporosis and made important recommendations.
.
LIVING A STILL LIFE
Physical therapy and Rehabilitation Specialist Prof. Dr. noted that the bone is in a continuous cycle of destruction of construction, “the factor that most stimulates the construction here is the load on the bone. Therefore, people who do sports such as walking and running have a lower risk of developing osteoporosis than people who are sedentary.
For this reason, it will be beneficial for both bone and cardiovascular health for people who need to stay at the table for a long time due to work to walk regularly every day.”
.
CALCIUM-DEFICIENT DIET
Prof. Dr. in Turkey points out that calcium taken into the body during childhood and growth is stored in the bones, and this storage process continues to decrease until the age of 30, saying: “therefore, taking enough calcium with nutrients until the age of 30 is very important for preventing osteoporosis, which can develop later in life.
For healthy bones, each adult is recommended to take 1000 mg of calcium daily. This amount can be up to 1200-1500 mg in children, pregnant women and postmenopausal women. The best known source of calcium is milk and dairy products. Green vegetables also contain calcium in their greens.”
.
GETTING INSUFFICIENT PROTEIN
Daily protein needs 0.8 grams for each kilo of body weight. But the effects of the amount of protein in the diet on bone health are a little more complex. Although a diet with a very low protein content is known to impair bone quality, a diet with an extremely high protein content has also been shown to cause osteoporosis, especially if calcium intake is insufficient.
Balanced consumption of Protein, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates and fats positively affects bone health.
.
SMOKING HABIT
It is a known fact that smoking reduces bone mineral density. Another known effect of smoking is that it delays the healing of fractures in the bones.
But it is debated whether these negative effects on bones are caused by smoking alone, or because smokers often eat unhealthy foods and have a weaker immune system.
.
NOT MAKING ENOUGH USE OF SUNLIGHT
Vitamin D is needed to absorb calcium taken in the body from the digestive system. The Daily need is 600-800 IU. Vitamin D can be obtained from foods such as eggs and sea fish, while the most important source of vitamin D is the sun’s Rays. The sun’s Rays are absorbed from the skin, passing through various processes in the liver and kidney in the body, becoming active vitamin D.
.
EXAGGERATING COFFEE CONSUMPTION
Physical therapy and Rehabilitation Specialist Professor Doctor. warns that consuming more than 300 mg of caffeine per day reduces the effectiveness of cells involved in bone building, “caffeine reduces calcium absorption from the digestive system, as well as increases calcium excretion from the kidneys.
Bone building cannot occur when you think about the amount of calcium in the body. Therefore, do not consume more than 3 cups of coffee per day. It is also useful to choose decaf coffee,” he says.
.
SPRINKLE EXCESS SALT ON MEALS
Excessive salt consumption can cause osteoporosis by increasing the amount of calcium excreted in the urine.
As it causes damage to the bones, as well as many health problems, the World Health Organization notes that the daily consumption of salt should not exceed 5 grams.
