Uncle Zhang, 6 1 year-old, has always had the habit of exercising, and his body is still tough. He has never had a knee problem before. Later, I heard from friends around me that when I was old, I wanted to eat ammonia candy to protect my joints and prevent arthritis, so I bought it and kept eating it.
Uncle Zhang walked too much and too hard when he was walking fast earlier, and his knee was hurt and the pain was unbearable. I thought I could recover after eating ammonia sugar, but I went to see a doctor if I didn't get well. Through examination, it was found that uncle Zhang suffered from goose's paw bursitis caused by excessive walking, which was characterized by pain, swelling and limited movement of the knee joint. The doctor told uncle Zhang that it was useless to eat ammonia sugar in this situation. Because glucosamine itself is only a component of cartilage, it is impossible to treat knee bursitis by supplementing cartilage after eating it.
In addition, the doctor also told uncle Zhang that the elderly do not need to supplement ammonia sugar regularly. If there is no corresponding disease, patella softening's disease or early osteoarthritis, there is no need to eat amino sugar.
What will happen if you eat ammonia sugar for a long time?
Eating amino sugar for a long time may lead to diabetes. Because amino sugar itself is a kind of sugar, the whole people call it amino acid glucose. Not suitable for middle-aged and elderly people with unstable blood sugar. Long-term consumption may affect the changes of blood sugar in human body, leading to the increase of glucose content in blood, thus greatly increasing the risk of diabetes.
It may also cause some damage to the liver. Although amino sugar is a kind of health care product, it has three kinds of toxicity, and it needs liver detoxification after entering the human body. Eating amino sugar for a long time will increase the burden on the liver. If the function of the liver itself is weak, amino sugar can not be decomposed and metabolized in time, and it will also be converted into fat accumulation, which will not only make people fat, but also make fat adhere to internal organs, especially the liver, which is very unfavorable to the health of the liver.
Eating amino sugar for a long time will also cause obvious harm to the stomach. If the stomach is not good and there is a history of stomach trouble, after taking amino sugar for a long time, there will be stomach discomfort and even acid water.
Why do some people eat ammonia candy with knee pain?
As we said earlier, amino sugar is actually a component of cartilage, which has a certain lubricating effect on bones and joints. With the increase of age, cartilage will gradually degenerate, the content of amino sugar will decrease, cartilage will become thinner and easier to wear, and it may rattle when walking. In addition, some bone spurs are prone to occur, causing joint pain. Aminoglycan is helpful to repair cartilage wear, and its lubrication can also reduce the friction between joints. So some people will find that the situation of knee pain has obviously improved after eating ammonia candy.
Uncle Zhang is a little confused. Aminoglycans are good and bad. How to eat? The doctor told him that whether to eat ammonia sugar depends on the actual situation. It is suggested to go to the hospital to find the cause after the problem of knee pain appears, and then treat it according to the cause of pain. Don't blindly use drugs yourself. Like uncle Zhang, it's no use eating ammonia candy. If it is osteoarthritis, it can be maintained by taking ammonia sugar, but it should be taken according to the course of treatment, not for a long time. People with different constitutions may also have taboos, so it is best to follow the doctor's advice.
