Women like to drink coffee and do not exercise for fear of osteoporosis

It is generally believed that the period of bone loss in women should become more and more serious after menopause is about 50 years old, but with the changes in today's diet, the age at which modern women face osteoporosis may decline. Yang Jung-sen, president of the Osteoporosis Society of the Republic of China, said that especially now that many women have a cup of coffee and seldom exercise and often eat out, it is easy to cause a growing shortage of bone density.

A recent survey of women aged 35 to 49 in China found that 10% of the 572 respondents had bone loss, and as many as 75% of them had a cup of coffee a day. They were also eaters and had almost no habit of exercise. Wu Yingrong, chief executive of the Taiwan Nutrition Foundation, said that people who eat out usually have nutritional imbalances that lead to insufficient calcium intake. Women are advised to supplement 1000 milligrams of calcium-containing foods a day. For example, drink more dairy products, dark green vegetables (mustard, amaranth, spinach, etc.), or traditional tofu, black sesame and dried fish to help take care of bone.

Yang Rongsen, president of the Osteoporosis Society, said that on average, women's bone will slowly decrease from the age of 35, and even by about 15% by menopause. If you don't pay attention to calcium supplements now, coupled with drinking coffee and less exercise, you may face low bone density at the age of 50, resulting in a higher and higher risk of fracture, such as the risk of spinal fracture at 60 and even hip fracture at 70.

The hip bone, which belongs to the pelvis, is one of the most important joints of the human body. in the past, investigations have found that patients with hip fractures have other complications, such as pneumonia, bedsores, intestinal obstruction, and so on, and as many as 30% died a year later. Nutrition teacher Wu Yingrong suggests that in addition to ingesting 1,000 milligrams of calcium-containing food a day, women can also go outside and bask in the sun and supplement vitamin D to help absorb calcium and maintain bone health.
