Moderate exercise is beneficial to the health of muscles and bones, which can enhance the tension and elasticity of muscles, enhance the tolerance of bones, increase the amount of bleeding of bones, make bones nutritious and delay the aging of bones. The elderly should pay attention to mastering the amount of exercise and exercising moderately, not too much or too little; And pay attention to safety, the time of exercise should be chosen in a period of sufficient light. Secondly, we should choose a good sports venue, in a familiar environment. Don't choose a venue where young people are engaged in strenuous activities at the same time to avoid collision damage.
2. Pay attention to reasonable nutrition
Calcium is an essential element to maintain bone strength. Foods rich in calcium contribute to the balance of calcium metabolism and the deposition of bone minerals. Adequate protein contributes to the formation of bone matrix.
The amount of calcium in the diet of the elderly is often insufficient, which is related to factors such as reduced food intake, poor appetite and decreased digestive function. Therefore, attention should be paid to the intake of calcium-rich foods, such as milk and eggs, which can provide high-quality protein and are rich in calcium and phosphorus. Others include green vegetables, beans and bean products, fish and shrimp, marine plants and shellfish. The intake of various vitamins is also very important for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.
