Today we will discuss about osteoporosis focusing on senile osteoporosis symptoms. What are the differences from other types and how can you prevent and treat?

What is osteoporosis

In a disease where bone density decreases, bones gradually become brittle and prone to fractures. It is osteoporosis. There are two types.
The first type is primary osteoporosis. There is no specific cause, just functional bone formation and resorption abnormalities.
There are three types of primary osteoporosis.

(1) Postmenopausal osteoporosis
(2) Senile osteoporosis
(3) Idiopathic osteoporosis

Osteoporosis in older women is a mixture of two components: postmenopausal osteoporosis and senile osteoporosis.

The second type is secondary osteoporosis. It happens upon another underlying disease.

About senile osteoporosis

A deficiency of estrogen, the primary female hormone, causes postmenopausal osteoporosis. Estrogen works in women’s bodies to regulate calcium uptake into bones. Postmenopausal osteoporosis usually affects postmenopausal women between the ages of 51 and 75, although it can occur earlier or later in some women.

On the other hand, we think senile osteoporosis is caused by age-related calcium and vitamin D deficiency and an imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation. It usually affects people over 70 and is twice as common in women as in men.

Senile osteoporosis symptoms

(1) The most significant difference in senile osteoporosis is not in the symptoms but the age when it happens.  That is, the aftermath of possible bone fractures. Once a fracture occurs, it may force long-term rest, leading to “bedridden.” for older people. (Falls are the most common cause of bone fractures in them!)

(2) The symptoms are almost the same as other osteoporosis. The loss of bone density progresses very slowly. For this reason, there are no symptoms in the early stages of osteoporosis, and even as the disease progresses, subjective symptoms may not appear at all. When bone density decreases and bone deformation or fracture occurs, sudden intense pain, gradual aching bone pain, and body deformation appear.
In long bones such as arms and legs, the epiphysis (base of the bone) is fractured rather than the center of the bone.
In the spinal column (vertebrae), fractures are more likely to occur from the middle of the back to the lower back. The spine is particularly prone to fractures due to osteoporosis.

Prevention of senile osteoporosis

Prevention works much better than treatment for osteoporosis in most cases. You should maintain and increase bone density to prevent osteoporosis by; taking adequate amounts of calcium and vitamin D, engaging in weight-bearing exercise, and, in some people, taking drugs.

Estrogen replacement therapy helps women maintain bone density.
This treatment is most effective within 4-6 years after menopause, but it will work even later.
The decision to implement estrogen replacement therapy after menopause is complicated. This treatment has side effects and risks. It increases the risk of developing uterine cancer and slightly increases the risk of breast cancer.
Taking progesterone with estrogen reduces the risk of developing uterine cancer. However, the risk of developing breast cancer does not change.

Natural supplements for senile osteoporosis symptoms

Hormone replacement therapy and osteoporosis medicines may be too strong. On the other hand, natural supplements help women of any age without reverse effects because they are only from foods. We, Juveriente®, recommend you two types of our natural supplements to address senile osteoporosis.

An essential nutrient to maintain healthy bones

We can’t produce most of the so-called “vitamins” such as vitamins A and C in our bodies. So we must take them from external sources such as meals.
We take vitamin D from foods, too. For example, from fish, egg yolks, and mushrooms such as dried shiitake and cloud ear mushrooms.
However, we can also produce it in our bodies when exposed to sunlight. Therefore, vitamin D is also known as the “sunshine vitamin.” Here comes the sun, Vitamin D!
The intaken and produced Vitamin D is metabolized in the liver and kidneys and converted to the active form of vitamin D, which exerts its effects.

Health benefits

Its effect is calcium metabolism and action on bone. Active vitamin D helps absorb calcium, which is a material for bones, and when calcium intake is insufficient, it works to reabsorb calcium from urine. It also regulates calcium deposition in bones and promotes bone formation. Calcium comes first when we think of nutrients essential for bone health. But calcium is used efficiently with the help of vitamin D.
In recent years, there has been growing interest in other benefits, such as preventing flu by increasing immunity, preventing falls, strengthening muscles, and preventing cancer and allergic diseases like hay fever.

You need sunbathing

Vitamin D is produced by the body when exposed to sunlight
Subcutaneous fat under our skin contains a type of cholesterol, which is the source of vitamin D. When this cholesterol is exposed to UV light, a chemical reaction occurs to produce vitamin D.
Prolonged vitamin D deficiency can lead to rickets (osteomalacia in adults). It’s a condition in which the bones become soft due to a lack of calcium, which constitutes the bones. We used to think of it as a disease in the past, but rickets has become a problem in recent years due to malnutrition and lack of sun exposure in some infants.
The negative aspects of ultraviolet rays, such as skin troubles like spots, wrinkles, and skin cancer, are often emphasized too much, but sunbathing is essential to maintain strong bones.

Let’s take sunbathing and increase your vitamin D

Like calcium, vitamin D is a nutrient that tends to be deficient. Especially in the elderly, the ability to create and activate vitamin D in the skin tends to decline. Changes in her lifestyle, such as eating less food, going out less often, and getting less exposure to the sun, can also make her vitamin D deficient.
Also, even if you are young, people who always wear sunscreen, hats, parasols, etc., should take precautions against UV rays. The amount of vitamin D produced in the skin through exposure to sunlight is greater than the amount obtained through food intake. So, a lifestyle that avoids exposure to ultraviolet rays to the extreme can lead to vitamin D deficiency.

To supplement vitamin D, try to spend about 1 hour in winter and 30 minutes in the shade of a tree in summer. When you sunbathe, your brain will secrete a substance called “serotonin.” It will provide you stress relief, concentration improvement, and brighter feeling. Stay active in the sun to keep your bones healthy.
Here comes the sun, Vitamin D!!

You can also take vitamin D through supplements.

Juveriente’s Bone Strength Complex will provide you vitamin D among its vitamin set for bone health while it also helps your bone health from the cellular level. (Learn about it more here.)
