Uyaziwa kangakanani izimpawu noma izimpawu zokuxwayisa zakuqala zokuphuza i-osteoporosis? Ichazwa ngamandla amaminerali aphansi (BMD) esithwebeni se-bone-scale. Uma ukuskena kubonisa ukuthi isibalo samathambo siphansi, isiguli sithola ukuxilongwa kwe-osteopenia-noma isifo se-osteoporosis. Uma i-BMD iphansi kakhulu, ukuxilongwa yi-osteoporosis.
Uma unesisindo esiphansi samathambo, ubhekene nobungozi obuphezulu obuphezulu bokuphuka amathambo.
Ngethemba ukuthi udokotela wakho uzobona ezinye zezimpawu zokuxwayisa zakuqala futhi akuthumelele ukuskena kwethambo ngaphambi kokuba ukhuthazele ubuhlungu nokuphumula kwekhefu.
I-Basics ye-Bone Health
Amangqamuzana aqukethe amangqamuzana akhethekile abasiza ukwakha amathambo (ama-osteoblasts) futhi kancane kancane aphule amathambo (ama-osteoclasts). Ama-osteoclasts nama-osteoblasts alingisa ama-crew amancane asebenza njalo ukuze amathambo aphile futhi aqinile. Uma impilo yakho yonke inhle futhi udla kahle, ibhalansi igcinwa. Ngoba yonke into yethambo ilahlekile, inani elilinganayo livuselelwa kabusha. Nokho, nge-osteoporosis, amathambo engeziwe alahlekile kunokuba akhiwe. Ngisho noma iziphuzo zingenzeka noma kuphi, izindawo ezivame kakhulu zihlanganisa iziqhwa nezigqoko, okungenzeka ukuthi zihlushwa umthelela wokuwa.
Amapulangwe ngemuva (ama-vertebrae) nawo angathinteka, nakuba angaphuli. Isisindo somzimba sikwanele ukucindezela ama-backbones, okubangela ukuqubuka okuncane emathongweni asepongy.
Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, abantu abane-osteoporosis empeleni bangaba mfushane. Ngamanye amazwi, balahlekelwa ukuphakama okuncane isikhathi ngasinye isikhathi sokucindezeleka kwama-vertebra.
Ezingxenyeni zokuqala zokuphila, ukuzivocavocaza kusiza ukwakha amathambo, okuholela emathekistini alula: amathambo aqina xa ethola ukusetshenziswa okuningi. Futhi ngokuphambene nalokho abanye abangase bakholwe, ukufaka isisindo kungasiza ngempela ukwakha amathambo.
Kulungile-uma kuziwa osteoporosis, abesifazane abancanyana banengozini enkulu kunabo abalingani babo abakhulu kunabo bonke. Ucwaningo lwembula ukuthi ukuqina komzimba kumzimba kungasiza ukuqinisa isibindi samathambo ngaphezu kwamafutha, kodwa isisindo sonke sisenza amathambo aqinile. Uma unesisindo somzimba esincane, uzodinga ukukhutheka ngokukhethekile ekusebenziseni ukuqeqeshwa kwamandla ukuze wakhe isisindo sakho esibucayi futhi unike amathambo akho ukudlala kangcono.
Amakhodi Aphezulu Okunomsoco
Uma kuziwa ekuvimbeleni i-osteoporosis noma ukwelashwa, izakhi ezimbili ezibaluleke kakhulu ziyi-calcium ne-vitamin D.
I-calcium, ama-go-tos akho kufanele afake i-yogurt, ubisi (nezinye izindlela zobisi eziqinisiwe), tofu ne-calcium (hlola ilebula lokudla), ama-soya (i-damam), ubhontshisi omhlophe, i-bok choy, i-kale, imifino ye-collard, i-broccoli, i-almonds, kanye ibhotela le-almond.
I-Vitamin D ivumela i-calcium ukuba isuke emaphethelweni emathunjini kuya ezingxenyeni zomzimba ezidinga-kuhlanganise namathambo. I-Vitamin D ingenziwa emzimbeni ngokusabela kwesikhumba ekukhanyeni kwelanga. Yiqiniso, ilanga eliningi lingabangela ukulimala kesikhumba, ukuguga ngaphambi kwesikhathi, nomdlavuza wesikhumba. Ngakho-ke, kunconywa ukuba ishaye ibhalansi ngokuthola i-vitamin D emithonjeni yokudla okufaka phakathi i-salmon yasendle, i-mackerel (hhayi inkosi), ama-sardine, u-herring, ubisi obunamandla (nezinye izindlela zobisi), namaqanda amaqanda.
Ukunciphisa Ingozi
Ezinye izinto eziyingozi ziyakugwema, kanti ezinye azikho. Ngenkathi ungeke ukwazi ukwenza okuningi ukuguqula umlando wakho womndeni noma izimo ezithile zezokwelapha ( njengeCushing disease noma hypothyroidism ), ungakwazi ukubhekana nemikhuba ethile embi, kuhlanganise nokubhema nokuphuza utshwala ngokweqile kanye nokusebenza ngokwengeziwe mayelana nokudla kanye nokudla ukuzivocavoca.
