Women are prone to osteoporosis! Famous Japanese orthopedic surgeon: the body fat rate should not be lower than 22%

Ota Boming (Director of Women's Medical Center of Shanwang Medical Center): The body fat rate of women should not be lower than 22%. Why does osteoporosis happen to women? In addition to the causes of aging, we can also judge from women's hormone secretion ability, genetic constitution, nutritional imbalance, living habits, past medical records and medication history. These reasons are also applicable to men. No matter how old bones are, they can be rejuvenated. Even though they may have "congenital weakness", strengthening their bones by increasing exercise and diet in daily life can make them young and strong. (Editor's recommendation: The mortality rate is higher than cancer! Dietary countermeasures to prevent menopausal osteoporosis) As long as you know the reasons why you may suffer from osteoporosis, you can find corresponding countermeasures. Osteoporosis used to be called an incurable disease because of age, but now it can be cured. If it is early osteoporosis, the cure rate is higher. Osteoporotic cells that destroy bones and osteoblasts that make bones work work at the same time, and bone metabolism is repeated to replace old bones. Osteoporotic cells will undergo moderate bone destruction under the restriction of female hormones. However, when female hormone secretion decreases, it will increase the activity of osteoclasts, accelerate the phenomenon of bone dissolution, and cause osteoblasts to make the speed of bones fail to keep up with the speed of destruction. Therefore, in the case of almost no secretion of female hormones after menopause (a little subcutaneous fat will be secreted), women will have serious bone loss. No matter how old you are, you must pay attention to the possibility of osteoporosis as long as there is a problem with the secretion ability of female hormones. Menstruation, bad physiological period and premature aging are the main reasons for the decrease of female hormone secretion, and it is not uncommon for women in their twenties to suffer from osteoporosis. (Editor's recommendation: An 80-year-old woman beats her daughter with bones, and two living habits make bones look like young people. Therefore, women need to check whether they lose weight repeatedly, eat abnormally, and often lack exercise and sleep. As mentioned above, women have a high risk of osteoporosis due to weight loss. Because excessive weight loss will cause underweight and malnutrition, thus reducing the secretion of female hormones. Body fat rate will also affect the secretion of female hormones. The standard female body fat rate is between 20% and 30%. If it is lower than 22%, it is easy to cause menstrual disorder and decrease female hormone secretion. If the body fat rate is as low as 10%, the ovaries that produce female hormones will not function normally. If you start with diet, you can eat more soy products such as natto and tofu. Soybean is rich in antioxidant soybean isoflavone, which can help women supplement natural hormones and relieve the discomfort caused by menopause. Compared with women, the probability of osteoporosis in men is very low-men have no female hormones, which is incredible. In fact, men secrete a small amount of female hormones, and there are enzymes in their subcutaneous fat that convert male hormones into female hormones. Androgen will gradually decrease with age, but it will not decrease as sharply as estrogen. Compared with men of the same age, postmenopausal 60-year-old women still secrete enough androgen, twice as much as women. This reason makes it easier for women to lose their bones and suffer from osteoporosis.
