Osteoporosis - symptoms, diagnosis & natural therapy approaches
Osteoporosis is a chronic bone disease in which the bone density decreases and the bones lose stability, which greatly increases the risk of fractures.
Things worth knowing about "Osteoporosis"
Osteoporosis is a chronic bone disease in which bone density decreases and bones lose stability, which greatly increases the risk of fractures.
Osteoporosis is a chronic bone disease in which bone density decreases and bones lose stability, which greatly increases the risk of fractures. Older people are particularly affected, especially women after the menopause, as the natural decline in the hormone oestrogen accelerates bone loss. Genetic factors, lack of exercise, a diet low in calcium as well as certain illnesses and medication can also increase the risk of osteoporosis. The disease often goes unnoticed for a long time as it does not initially cause any pain.
The first signs can be a decrease in height, back pain or a change in posture. Osteoporosis is often only diagnosed after a bone fracture, for example in the hip, spine or wrists. Early detection through a bone density measurement (DXA measurement) is therefore crucial in order to be able to initiate countermeasures.
An adequate supply of nutrients is important to prevent osteoporosis or slow down its progression. Calcium, the most important building block for strong bones, is particularly important. Good sources are dairy products, green leafy vegetables, almonds and calcium-rich mineral water. Vitamin D also promotes the absorption of calcium in the intestine and supports its incorporation into the bones. As the body's own production is stimulated by sunlight, it may be necessary to supplement with vitamin D3 in months with little sunshine. Vitamin K2 helps to store calcium in the bones and magnesium also plays an important role in bone metabolism and contributes to bone stability. It is found in nuts, seeds, wholemeal products and green vegetables. Omega-3 fatty acids also have anti-inflammatory properties that can slow down bone loss. Good sources are oily fish, linseed or omega-3 capsules. Trace elements such as zinc and silicon are important for bone mineralisation and are found in nuts, pulses and wholegrain products.
In addition to an optimal supply of nutrients, an active lifestyle is crucial for bone health. Regular exercise, especially strength training and targeted exercises to promote bone density, help to slow down bone loss. Although osteoporosis cannot be cured, early diagnosis, the right diet and a healthy lifestyle can slow down the progression of the disease and maintain bone health.
