Osteoporosis in the elderly is a major manifestation of aging. It is mainly caused by the imbalance of vitamin metabolism and endocrine, resulting in the reduction and loss of calcium reabsorption. If diagnosed, reliable treatment should be accepted to slow down the development trend of the disease and avoid fracture.
There are different levels of degenerative diseases in the whole body of the elderly, and they often have to take cardiovascular drugs and health care products. Therefore, simple calcium supplementation and diet conditioning are better than medicine supplementation. Older people over 50 years old must be supplemented with 1000mg of calcium every day. Usually, a box of 250 ml milk can give 200mg of calcium. When supplementing calcium, vitamin D should be added, which can promote the absorption of calcium in the gastrointestinal tract, and more sun exposure can also improve the storage of vitamin D in the body.
Milk and dairy products are not only high in calcium, but also very easy to absorb. Other rich and colorful calcium-containing ingredients include bean food, bean products, fish with bones, dried shrimp skin, white sesame, peanut kernel, walnut kernel, sweet almond, pine nut kernel, hazelnut kernel, Nostoc flagelliforme, auricularia auricula, Pleurotus ostreatus and laver. Vegetables and fruits with high calcium content include chrysanthemum, cabbage, broccoli, cabbage, carrot, cabbage and spinach.
Soybean is a food with high protein and high calcium content. 500 grams of bean pulp contains calcium 120mg, and 150 grams of tofu contains calcium up to 500mg. Other bean products are also excellent products for calcium supplementation. In addition, the authoritative experts of Changchun Orthopedic Hospital here give a friendly reminder: bean oars should be boiled for 7 times before they can be taken. Tofu can't be eaten with some vegetables and fruits, such as spinach. Spinach contains hydrochloric acid, which can be combined with calcium and converted into calcium oxalate conjugate, thus hindering the body's absorption of calcium, so tofu and other bean products are not suitable for cooking with spinach. However, if bean products are cooked with meat products, they will be tasty and nutritious.
