Strontium is related to longevity, and there are many examples.
It is reported that the content of strontium in the hair of the elderly in Shanghai, Hubei and Shenyang is higher than that of ordinary people. In a small town in Sichuan, there are 4.9 centenarians per 10,000 people, which is higher than the 3.8 centenarians per 10,000 people in Bama. According to measurement, this water is rich in strontium.
Among the Hongzakute tribe in northern Kashmir, 60 of the 40,000 people are over 100 years old. They are famous for their health and strength, and the local soil is rich in strontium.
As early as 1986, Liu Biansheng of Liyuan Hospital in Hubei Province detected trace elements in the soil, water quality, grain and hair of centenarians living in this province, and found that they contained many elements such as selenium, calcium, magnesium, strontium, zinc and fluorine. He found that there was a "trace element spectrum" in the external environment and the body of centenarians in the longevity area, which was different from that in ordinary areas, and put forward the theory of prolonging life of trace elements. Later, many scholars who studied the relationship between trace elements and longevity put forward a slightly different "longevity trace element spectrum". No matter which study, strontium is impressively listed.
Various clues about the relationship between longevity and strontium suggest that strontium may have an inevitable positive correlation with human health and longevity, and its anti-aging and longevity effect can be seen.
Strontium has the following relations with human health:
1, maintain bone health
It is closely related to bone formation, participates in bone calcification, and has the functions of promoting osteoblast bone formation and inhibiting osteoclast bone absorption. It can promote bone development and osteoid formation, regulate calcium metabolism and reduce the incidence of fractures in patients with osteoporosis.
2. Prevention of hypertension and heart disease
Strontium levels in drinking water and urine are negatively correlated with hypertensive heart disease. It may be that strontium and sodium compete for absorption sites, which can reduce sodium intake and reduce sodium content in the body. Strontium is also related to the function and structure of cardiovascular system.
3. Stimulate the excitement of nerves and muscles
Strontium is related to the excitement of nerves and muscles, and can be used to treat some convulsions caused by parathyroid dysfunction.
4. Strontium deficiency can lead to dental caries.
Many epidemiological investigation results show that the strontium content in enamel is negatively correlated with dental caries.
Ordinary adults can get 1.9mg of strontium from their diet every day, and the absorption rate is generally 17~38%. Like other essential elements, strontium is not as much as possible. According to the amount of strontium excreted by adults, the daily intake of strontium per person should be controlled at 2 mg/d.
The maximum strontium content of Dingdang spring water in bagged water is about 1mg/L, which reaches the limit of drinking natural mineral water. If you drink 2L every day, you can take 2mg/day, which can completely meet the demand of human health for strontium.
Drinking water rich in strontium regularly is not a problem for health and longevity.
