Osteoporosis : Best food practices to follow. Dr Sancheti.

Pune Feb 6 (UNI) Osteoporosis is a bone disease wherein, increased bone weakness leads to broken bone like bones become weak and may break from a fall or, in serious cases, from sneezing or minor bumps. Bone tissue is constantly being renewed, and new bone replaces old, damaged bone, in this way, the body maintains bone density. In osteoporosis, bone density decreases and the body stops producing as much bone as it did before, resulting in brittle and fragile bones due to low bone tissue loss. It can affect both males and females, but it is more likely to occur in women soon after menopause, because of the sudden decrease in estrogen, which is the hormone that normally protects against osteoporosis.
The condition is also called “silent disease” because one does not feel symptoms of bones getting weaker, and it often remains undetected until after the bearer breaks a bone. It is the most common type of bone disease which increases the risk of fractures, particularly of the hips, spine, and wrists. Common causes leading to osteoporosis include aging, being female, low body weight, low sex hormones or menopause, smoking, and some type of medications.
Dr Parag Sancheti, orthopedic surgeon from Sancheti Hospital, Pune, said, "VitaminB 3, B 6, and B 12 are essential for joint pain and body pain. If you do not want to have arthritis you must include them in your diet. Vitamin D is important for the absorption of calcium from the stomach and we get it from sunlight. Milk, yogurt, cheese, whole grain, cereal, legumes, chickpeas, banana, spinach, potatoes are good source of vitamin B 3, B 6, and B 12. Vitamin B 12 is important for bone health. If you are vegetarian you get Vitamin B 12 only through almond and milk. Vegetarians can take supplements of Vitamin B 12. One tablet daily of Methylcobalamin can be consumed. If it is critically low, it negatively impacts bone health."
