Osteoporosis and Food

Osteoporosis is a progressive disease in which the bones gradually become weaker, causing changes in posture and making the individual extremely susceptible to bone fracture. Osteoporosis affects many more women than man because of the physiological, nutritional and hormonal differences. The bone loss can be showed as a side effect of chemotherapy, thyroid hormone, corticosteroids and anticonvulsants.

A bit about the Physiology of Bone:

Bone is constantly restoring itself. Cells called osteoblasts are responsible for making bone and other cells, called osteoclasts, are needed to remove old bon e as its minerals are absorbed for use elsewhere in the body. If the osteoclasts break down the bone more quickly than it is replaced, then bone becomes less dense and is therefore likely to break more easily.

Which recommendations are useful in case of Osteoporosis?

Common herbs such as sage, rosemary, and thyme can inhibit the breakdown of bone. It’s necessary to eat plenty of foods that are high in calcium and vitamin D, such as broccoli chestnuts, clams, dandelion greens, most dark green leafy vegetables, flounders, havelnuts, kale, shrimp, salmon, sardines. Vitamin K1, found in dark green vegetables, like kale, spinach, brussels sprouts, broccoli and asparagus, retards bone loss. Manganese is also important for the normal bone growth. Instead caffeine, such as citrus fruits and tomatoes, reduces the uptake of calcium so it’s not indicated in case of osteoporosis.
