If you suddenly stop eating fish and meat, you may be unknowingly dangerous

The Dhaka Times Desk One study found that people who eat a vegetarian or vegan diet may have an increased risk of osteoporosis. So how to avoid this bone loss?

As people age, bone loss also increases. In order to prevent bone loss, extra attention should be paid to eating and drinking. The main components of bones are calcium and phosphorus. Moreover, it contains various types of minerals. As age increases, bone calcium and other elements are deficient. Then the bones become brittle. Because of this there is a risk of breaking the bones with the slightest injury or blow. And then most of the people have to suffer from the problem of osteoporosis.

In women, after menopause, there is a lack of estrogen hormone in the body. Therefore, the ability of bone to absorb calcium also decreases. This is the main cause of bone loss. Therefore, the risk of bone loss in women also increases.

A recent study found that those who eat a vegetarian or vegan diet are at increased risk of bone loss due to a lack of adequate nutrients. In recent times, many people have stopped eating fish and meat and are leaning towards eating vegan or vegetarian food. They claim that this will improve health. But research says otherwise.

Researchers from the University of Leeds surveyed 26,318 women aged 35 to 69. One-third of vegetarian women suffered hip fractures, the study found.

Nutritionists believe that vegetarians should pay special attention to their diet. Calcium, vitamin-D and omega-3 fatty acid deficiency in the body should be taken care of!

Diet

Many people think that taking some over-the-counter calcium pills for bones will take care of the bones - but this is not the case. Taking calcium medicine for a long time causes excess calcium to accumulate in the kidney, so it can accumulate and form stones. So instead of relying on medicine, you have to trust in food and medicine. To keep bones healthy
It is necessary to eat foods containing calcium, vitamin K, vitamin C, vitamin D, boron, magnesium, phosphorus, strontium, potassium. The body can get a lot of calcium from dairy products. So milk, cheese, chickpeas, butter, curd must be kept in your diet. If you have a problem with lactose, you can eat chickpeas or cheese instead of milk directly. And those who are vegan, keep more spinach, mustard greens, and radish in their diet. Add soybeans, almonds, etc. to your diet.

exercise

Some exercises that increase muscle strength are very suitable in this case. If the knee problem has not already started, exercise like running, walking, skipping should be done daily. Swimming or dancing are both good exercises.

sunbathing

And those suffering from osteoporosis, need at least 20 minutes of sun exposure every day. Sunlight increases the level of vitamin D in the body. The reason is that vitamin D is very important in osteoporosis patients. Source: Anandabazar Patrika.
