The bone becomes more porous and fragile, significantly increasing the risk of fractures, even during everyday activities such as walking or bending down. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Osteopeni<\/strong>a is a previous stage in which bone mineral density is lower than normal but does not yet meet the diagnostic criteria for osteoporosis. It is usually detected through a bone densitometry test and represents an important opportunity for prevention. <\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1057 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neolifesalud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Osteoporosis-1.png\" alt=\"osteoporosis\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Why Do Bones Weaken With Age?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Bones<\/strong> are not static structures; they are constantly being renewed. Some cells build bone (osteoblasts), while others break it down (osteoclasts). <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Childhood and adolescence:<\/strong> bone formation predominates.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Adulthood:<\/strong> a balance is maintained between formation and degradation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>After the age of 50\u201360<\/strong>: degradation exceeds formation, especially after menopause due to the decline in estrogen levels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This process explains why osteoporosis is more common in <strong>postmenopausal women<\/strong> and <strong>older <\/strong>men.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Preventing Osteoporosis Through Nutrition<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Prevention begins long before symptoms appear. Achieving a good <strong>peak bone mass<\/strong> during adolescence and early adulthood is essential for long-term <strong>bone health<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Calcium: The Structural Basis of Bone<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Adequate calcium intake prevents the body from extracting calcium from bones to maintain vital functions such as muscle contraction or blood clotting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><u>Main sources:<\/u><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dairy products (milk, yogurt, aged and semi-aged cheeses)<\/li>\n<li>Legumes, nuts, and seeds<\/li>\n<li>Small fish eaten with bones (such as sardines)<\/li>\n<li>Vegetables such as broccoli<\/li>\n<li>Fortified foods (plant-based drinks, cereals)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Two daily servings of dairy products, within a varied diet, usually cover the needs of healthy adults.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Vitamin D: Essential for Calcium Absorption<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Vitamin D<\/strong> allows calcium to be properly absorbed in the intestine and deposited in the bone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><u>Main sources:<\/u><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Moderate sun exposure<\/li>\n<li>Oily fish<\/li>\n<li>Eggs and dairy products<\/li>\n<li>Fortified foods<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During winter or in individuals with limited sun exposure, deficiencies are common, and <strong>supplementation<\/strong> may be necessary under the supervision of a healthcare professional.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Physical Activity: An Essential Stimulus<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Exercise, especially weight-bearing activities (walking, climbing stairs, dancing, or strength training), stimulates <strong>bone formation<\/strong>. Each muscle contraction sends a positive signal to the bone, helping maintain its density. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1057 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neolifesalud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Osteoporosis-3-1.png\" alt=\"osteoporosis\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Nutrients That Support Bone Health<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition to calcium and vitamin D, other nutrients play key roles:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Protein:<\/strong> necessary for the bone matrix, although excessive intake from animal sources should be avoided.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Magnesium:<\/strong> supports bone mineralization and hormonal activity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Zinc: <\/strong>involved in the formation and repair of bone tissue.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vitamin C<\/strong>: essential for collagen synthesis.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vitamin K:<\/strong> regulates calcium binding in bone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A varied and balanced diet usually covers these requirements.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Foods and Substances to Limit in Osteoporosis<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This does not mean strict prohibitions, but rather moderate and mindful consumption.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji';\">Caffeine<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">High intake may increase urinary calcium excretion.

It is not necessary to eliminate them, but it is advisable to combine them appropriately and ensure they do not displace calcium-rich foods. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Nutrition and Hormones: A Key Relationship<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The loss of <strong>estrogen<\/strong> during <strong>menopause<\/strong> and <strong>testosterone <\/strong>in older men accelerates bone loss. For this reason, osteoporosis is more common in postmenopausal women and in men over the age of 65. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Proper nutrition, together with exercise and medical monitoring, can significantly slow this process.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Taking care of bone health does not depend on a single food, but on an overall lifestyle. A nutrient-rich diet, regular physical activity, and reducing harmful habits are the best tools to prevent osteoporosis and improve quality of life in the long term. <\/p>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">BIBLIOGRAPHY<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">(1) World Health Organization. <em>Prevention and management of osteoporosis: report of a WHO scientific group<\/em>.
