Three Misconceptions of Calcium Supplementation in Patients with Osteoporosis

Misunderstanding 1: Treatment of osteoporosis does not identify the cause

Osteoporosis is divided into two major categories, namely primary osteoporosis and secondary osteoporosis. Osteoporosis occurs after menopause in women, and osteoporosis in older men belongs to primary osteoporosis. Osteoporosis caused by certain diseases or certain causes (such as drugs) is secondary to osteoporosis. Different types of osteoporosis, the treatment is not the same, must not be indiscriminate, all calcium, otherwise there will be complications.

Secondary osteoporosis, such as osteoporosis caused by calcium malnutrition, is very effective in supplementing calcium. For primary osteoporosis, calcium supplements cannot be used for treatment. Osteoporosis occurs in the vast majority of the elderly is a primary osteoporosis, such elderly people should be treated under the guidance of a doctor, such as menopausal women can add estrogen, etc., blind calcium supplementation has no effect.

There is currently no effective way to cure osteoporosis in the world. What we can do now is prevention and mitigation.

Misunderstanding 2: The more calcium supplements, the better

Many old people mistakenly believe that the more calcium is supplemented, the more it is absorbed, and the more bones are formed, this is not the case. In general, elderly people over 60 years of age need 800 mg of calcium per day. Excessive calcium supplementation does not become bones. Instead, it causes complications that endanger the health of the elderly.

Calcium is absorbed by humans: Calcium is absorbed into the bloodstream through the gastrointestinal tract and forms blood calcium (ie, calcium in the blood). Through bone metabolism, calcium is deposited in the calcium salt to form bones. Not that the more calcium you eat, the more bone you have. The amount of calcium in the blood must be kept at a certain level, too much or too little will not work. Excessive calcium supplementation, excessive blood calcium levels in the blood, can lead to hypercalcemia, and can cause complications such as kidney stones, calcification of blood vessels and so on.

Myth three: calcium can cure osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a systemic metabolic skeletal disease that is a manifestation of human aging. In women 5 to 10 years after menopause, osteoporosis usually occurs in men between the ages of 65 and 70.

Whether it is male or female, it is generally the highest bone mass obtained in a lifetime of about 30-35 years old, which is called peak bone mass. After that, bone loss begins, especially in postmenopausal women, 1–10 after menopause

In years, the rate of bone loss was significantly faster and men did not have a period of rapid bone loss. From this we can see that if you want to be old, you have to lay a good foundation before the age of 35. The foundation is thick, and it is only a few years old. Therefore, a large amount of calcium supplements by the elderly can not reverse the trend of bone loss, nor can it cure osteoporosis.

Food calcium is safer than calcium supplements

The safest and most effective way to supplement calcium is to increase calcium intake in your daily diet, and food supplements are safer than calcium supplements and do not cause excessive calcium levels.

Experts suggest that the old man insists on drinking two cups of milk each day and eats calcium-rich foods such as dairy products, soybeans, green beans, tofu, and sesame. Second, choose a healthy lifestyle, drink less coffee and cola, and do not smoke, which can cause bone loss. In addition, the sun and outdoor sports are also conducive to the absorption and utilization of calcium. These are all safe calcium supplements. Old people do not need to take calcium daily.

Pigments

Pigments are used for coloring paint, ink, plastic, fabric, cosmetics, food, and other materials. Most pigments used in manufacturing and the visual arts are dry colorants, usually ground into a fine powder. This powder is added to a binder (or vehicle), a relatively neutral or colorless material that suspends the pigment and gives the paint its adhesion.

Just because of the pigments, our world become colorful!
