As I get older, my height shrinks, and the hunchback of the old man becomes shorter. What is playing a trick on you?
Shortening hunchback is a particularly obvious feature of aging of the elderly, which may be caused by two possibilities:

1, caused by calcium deficiency

In general, this hunchback and dwarfing is caused by the loss of calcium in bones with the increase of age. The reason is actually very simple, that is, with the increase of age, the loss of calcium in bones leads to the compression and bending of the spine, and the supporting force of the spine decreases, which will lead to this situation. However, this situation is also divided into mild and severe, and a slight bending will lead to a slight hunchback. Severe bending may make us hunched over and even unable to walk, thus affecting our normal life and work and rest.

2. A certain disease leads to hunchback.

Modern medical research shows that sitting for a long time can also lead to hunchback, because sitting for a long time will hinder our qi and blood, thus affecting the absorption of nutrition and calcium. With the increase of age, the loss of calcium will gradually increase. At this time, sedentary behavior can easily make us suffer from hunchback and even hyperosteogeny.

Humpback whales will bring great inconvenience to our life and work. In fact, as long as prevention is good, it can be greatly reduced or avoided. There are two main prevention methods:

1, calcium supplementation

It should be noted that the calcium supplement mentioned here needs to be supplemented from a very young age, rather than waiting until the humpback phenomenon has occurred, which is too late.

2. Increase physical exercise.

At ordinary times, we can often do some simple physical exercises, such as stretching or stretching, to promote our blood circulation, promote calcium absorption and strengthen bones, so as to achieve the effect of preventing hunchback.
