Osteoporosis is recognized as a silent epidemic and a serious public health problem. According to traditional Chinese medicine, growth and development of humans are related to kidneys and spleen, and skeletal muscle development can be changed through acquired diet and physical exercise. With age, the growth, development, and aging of bones are as follows:
Growth period: from birth to 20 years old, bone growth and development.
Balance peak period: From 20 to 40 years old, bone growth is in a relatively balanced state.
Decline in aging: From the age of 40, the bones gradually age and the bone mass gradually decreases. For women, in the 10 years after menopause, starting from the age of 50, the bone mass is rapidly lost, with an average annual rate of 1.5% to 2%, which determines that osteoporosis in middle-aged and elderly women is the focus of prevention and treatment.
Knowing the laws of human bone growth and development, it is necessary to strengthen nutrition and exercise during the period of bone development, so that the bones and muscles develop strong and strong, which is the best period for increasing bone reserve in one's life. When entering the peak period of skeletal balance, proper nutrition and exercise should be taken so that bones and muscles do not enter the recession prematurely. When entering the decline of skeletal aging, food and drugs should be used to control the aging and degradation of bones and muscles. Don't wait until osteoporosis has already formed. Fractures and kyphosis have occurred. As the old saying puts it: The war has been fought, only to make weapons, it is too late!
Chinese medicine believes that medicine and food are homologous, and the preferred method of diet for preventing and treating osteoporosis is that women over 40 years old can supplement their declining estrogen by eating more soy foods.
"Compendium of Materia Medica" records: Take soy, it is long skin, benefit color, fill the bone marrow, add strength, white is not old. Modern medicine believes that soybean contains soy isoflavones, a phytoestrogen, which can supplement the estrogens that are gradually lacking in middle-aged and elderly women, maintain normal bone metabolism, and help prevent and treat osteoporosis in middle-aged and elderly women and reduce menopause. Symptoms help the body delay aging.
Don't be afraid if you have osteoporosis. Chinese medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment. Different drugs should be used to treat different types of syndromes. At present, some proprietary Chinese medicines on the market are mostly kidney-based and are suitable for the treatment of osteoporosis, which is mainly kidney-yang deficiency. At the same time, Western medicine is dialectically selected, and drugs that inhibit bone resorption and promote bone formation are used for comprehensive treatment through drugs, food, and physical exercise.
