Bone health
Traditional Chinese medicine has attached great importance to "nourishing bones" since ancient times, and often judges a person's health status by the state of bones. Modern medicine believes that "keeping healthy first nourishes bones" and "nourishing bones means nourishing life", and bones have a wonderful connection with internal organs. Bone health, many diseases can be improved very well. Chinese medicine believes that "keeping health first raises bones", which means that if you want to be in good health, you must first have strong bones.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, bone nourishing can be interpreted as benefiting qi and nourishing blood, strengthening essence and strengthening bones, enhancing physique and prolonging life, so bone nourishing is one of the key points of human health care. Experts pointed out: when people get old, there will be a certain degree of bone structure degradation, and the development process is slow and not easy to detect. At first, it usually showed cartilage degeneration and bone calcium loss, which led to joint pain and osteoporosis, so many elderly friends were taking calcium supplements. If you want good bones, calcium supplementation is essential!

1. protein, the "concrete" of bones, of which 22% is composed of protein, mainly collagen. With protein, people's bones can be as hard as concrete, but not fragile, with toughness, and can withstand the impact of external forces. Amino acids and peptides in protein are beneficial to calcium absorption. If the intake of protein is insufficient for a long time, it will not only lead to the backwardness of new bone formation, but also easily lead to osteoporosis. Eat more foods rich in collagen and elastin, such as eggs, milk, walnuts and skins. However, excessive intake of protein is harmful to bones, which will increase the acidity of human blood, accelerate the dissolution of calcium in bones and the excretion of calcium in urine.

2. Vitamin D, the "protector" of bones, can promote the absorption of calcium in the intestine and reduce the excretion of calcium by the kidneys, just like a gas station, which continuously supplements calcium to bones. If vitamin D is lacking, the hardness of bones will be reduced, and even "rickets" will be formed; The manifestations are as follows: children often have underdeveloped skulls and chests and are prone to rickets; The bone strength of lower limbs and pelvis of pregnant women and the elderly will decrease. 90% of vitamin D in human body is synthesized by ultraviolet rays in the sun through own skin.

3. To change the bad posture in life, we should "sit and stand" and refuse Ge You's paralysis. Bad posture is contrary to the physiological curvature of cervical and lumbar vertebrae, which will cause chronic strain for a long time. When the physiological curvature of cervical and lumbar vertebrae changes, it will cause pain.

4. Acupoint massage. The treatment of osteoporosis by acupoint massage needs to start with tonifying kidney and strengthening spleen. Chinese medicine believes that acupoints such as Pishu, Shenshu, Guanyuan, Quchi, Guanyuan and Sanyinjiao are good for kidney and spleen health care, and can be rubbed repeatedly with fingers or palms. The technique should be gentle, 3~5 minutes at a time.

5. Eat some psoralea corylifolia sulfate properly. Psoralea corylifolia sulfate is an active substance that can increase bone mineral density. It can activate bone morphogenetic protein, increase the expression of bone morphogenetic protein factor and promote the differentiation and proliferation of osteoblasts. Psoralea corylifolia sulfate can prevent bone tissue from decreasing, improve bone microstructure and increase bone mass.

6 Do not eat or eat less food that leads to bone calcium loss. Summer is the "golden season" for drinking beer, but excessive drinking is one of the causes of osteoporosis, especially beer and white wine, which will inhibit bone growth factor and accelerate the loss of calcium in bones. In addition, drinking carbonated drinks and coffee for a long time will also lead to the loss of calcium in human bones.

7. Get more sunshine. Ensuring more than 20 minutes of light every day can produce vitamin D, which can not only regulate calcium absorption, but also coordinate neuromuscular function.

The appearance of osteopathy is inextricably linked with our daily living habits, and many osteopathy are caused by bad living habits. For example, working at a desk for a long time or playing with a mobile phone is a major factor leading to cervical spondylosis and lumbar disc herniation. Paying attention to these details can reduce the occurrence of bone diseases.

The maintenance of bones comes from keeping good habits in life. A healthy diet and reasonable exercise are very important. I believe everyone can keep healthy by doing the above.
