Cenni sull'osteoporosi

Osteoporosis is a metabolic disease that causes bones to become fragile, delicate, little resistance, that can cause fractures.

Some risk factors, overweight, physical inactivity, alcohol, smoking, calcium deficiency, genetic inheritance, women, menopause, may encourage the emergence of the disease.

The main constituent of bones is calcium, which our body absorbs from food, the its requirements usually vary between 800-1500 mg per day.

Calcium is present in milk, yogurt, cheese, nuts, beans and dark leafy vegetables, sardines, salmon, while an exaggerated proportion of salt, meat, coffee, alcohol, inhibits the absorption, which is facilitated by vitamin D, but not prominent in the food produced by the skin through exposure to sunlight.

The bone is characterized by a continuous model by cells such as osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Osteoclasts destroy bone cells, osteoblasts are responsible for ossification.

Unfortunately, the assumption di calcio nella maggioranza delle persone non è adeguata e per compensare questo deficit l’organismo mobilizza il calcio dalle ossa .

L’osteoporosi è una malattia che colpisce maggiormente le donne nel periodo della menopausa, in quanto è in relazione con la diminuzione della produzione di estrogeni.

Come prevenzione , oltre ad una dieta equilibrata con giusto apporto di calcio(in caso anche con l’assunzione di farmaci), è essenziale un’ attività fisica regolare e moderata.

Le attività idonee sono tante: camminare,correre,circuit training,esercizi di potenziamento muscolare che sono indicati come i più useful.

These activities involve the development of strength in muscles that are part of the long bones and cause a stimulus to the activity of osteoblasts (bone formation).

A targeted physical activity, combined with a balanced diet, may help maintain and increase bone mass.

"All the body parts that have a function, if used in moderation and exercised in the activity to which they are assigned, they become more healthy, well-developed and age more slowly, but if they are not used and left idle, they become easy to get sick, defective in growth and aging precocemente "(Ippocrate)
