Joint pain and Bone health
Joint pain and bone health issues are quite common these days. Amongst which, knee pain is the most heard of ailment of which we are in search of measures to tackle it efficiently. Not denying, at some point we have ignored the problem hoping it to mend by itself. This won’t help as pain will only get severe as time flies. It is better to take preventive measures beforehand and nip the problem in the bud so that it doesn’t grow in severity.
Who are more prone to it?
- Senior Citizens & elderly people due to lower lubrication in their knee joints
- Postmenopausal women
Reasons for the issue
Major reasons for Joint Pain are mainly 2 fold
Osteoporosis and Arthritis. (1) (2)
When calcium gets drained out from the bones, it results in Osteoporosis (2), which technically means the porosity of the bones. Arthritis is when there is inflammation in joints. Stiffness of the bones is the major cause of this. (1)
Postmenopausal women are more prone to disorders like Osteoporosis. Oestrogen being the primary reason for it, lack of calcium and Vitamin D intake also contributes to this. (3) This does not mean that men won’t experience lack of calcium. They might not experience at an earlier stage in life, but are prone to issues later in life, as compared to women. Apart from this, children who lack Vitamin D and Calcium are said to develop a condition called rickets, which results in the weakness of the bones. (4)
As already stated, Osteoporosis is caused when calcium gets drained out from the bones. We all know how important is calcium as a mineral for human body in order to maintain strong bones. But it is not produced by our body. Hence, it should definitely come from the foods that we consume. (2) While most of these problems are caused due to poor intake of Calcium Rich foods, some people have problem of calcium absorption from their diet. This is caused when the body is unable to absorb calcium and assimilate it.
