Be careful, Stress Can Damaging The Bones

Stress of this age is not only felt by adults, even children can also experiencing stress. Stress in the form of frustration, anger, anxieties, depression and in any form it turned out can be a terrible thing for the bones.

Based on a study which said that stress can reduce the amount of minerals in the body.

The presence of cortisol were detected

Studies repeatedly have shown how stress negatively affects bone mineral density, which is the amount of materials mineral per centimeter square the bone. Dr. Pradeep Bhonsle, Head of Orthopedics at KEM Hospital, said that stress plays an important role is gradually but surely that will trigger the emergence of osteoporosis.

Bone tissue in the body is run by two types of cells: osteoblasts that help in depositing of new bone tissue and osteoclasts that break down old bone tissue. Well, bone density is determined by the rate at which this cells work.

"When stress, the adrenal glands will increase production of cortisol. Cortisol, known as the 'stress hormone' such as it is released by the body in response to stress, can reduce bone density with inhibiting bone-building osteoblasts," he said.

With decreasing the activity of osteoblasts, the bone tissue in the body will be more many broken than saved. Low bone density eventually lead to osteoporosis. Interestingly, Americans who have a number of highest calcium intake is the holder of the highest levels of osteoporosis.

The solution, health experts say can not only with get more many the calcium, but also with reducing wasteful water. "When you face of stress, you lose calcium through the urine. Cortisol excess can lead to reduced calcium absorption and excretion resulting in a surge." word Dr. Bhonsle, adding.

Attacks acid

Needless to say, the phosphoric acid in soft drinks acts as a corrosive agent and is a major cause of calcium and mineral loss from bones and teeth. Dr. Bhonsle indicates that the effects of stress have reactions and the same results.

"Stress causing acidity who inhibit the digestion who optimal from foods. This acidity also inhibit the metabolism of mineral which is important for bone health. Even, without absorption of this mineral, diet which very nutritious there is no use for your bones," he said.

Beware of depression

Studies also find that the people who suffering from depression has a density bone a lower and more fragile than others. When depression, the brain uses the sympathetic nervous system (which responds to impending danger or stress) to increase the secretion of noradrenaline in the bone, a chemical that inhibits osteoblast. Researchers say that depression mimic the effects of stress.

Wise in selecting food

Stress and feeling 'down' are constantly, making people searching comfort in the 'junk food' that are not rich in calcium, magnesium and other important nutrients that help prevent osteoporosis. "The wrong food choices, translated into bone nutrition which is inadequate.

In addition, the erratic meal times and multitasking activities, such as eating while SMS or working will hinder optimal digestion process. Of course, regular intake of vitamin D3, which is obtained from the sun in the morning is also important because helps in the utilization of mineral in bone.

For known osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become thin, brittle and prone to fracture. Existing bone should constantly was replaced by new bone. Risk factors for this condition include aging, low weight, low sex hormones such as during menopause, alcoholism and smoking.

It can be prevented and treated with increasing the intake of calcium and vitamin D. Effect of suffer the osteoporosis, about half of all women over age 50 will suffering a hip fracture, wrist, or spine.
