Your food choices could place you at risk for bone porosity, your knowledge and use of pro-inflammatory diet could save your life. Inflammation is an important risk factor for many debilitating situations in older people and the diet is a potential source of inflammatory factors. Avoiding or limiting the intake of foods that cause bone fractures is vital to preventing this debilitating disease in your life and those of your loved ones.
Research findings
It has been established how eating habit that is high in foods such as red meats, high-fat milk, refined grains, processed meats, candies and carbonated drinks increase the inflammatory level. In contrast, a healthy eating pattern comprising vegetables and fruit, as well as whole grains and soybeans reduces inflammatory factors and therefore enhance bone health.
A research found that women with lower inflammatory factors were those whose dietary pattern is typical of Mediterranean Diet, Health Index Diet, and DASH diet, all of which emphasized high consumption of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and low-fat foods, contributed to the declined inflammatory indexes in the circulation.
In a longitudinal study involving more than 160000 postmenopausal women, the higher the intake of pro-inflammatory diets such as high amounts of meats, refined grains and grain products, and sweets, the higher the risk of hip fracture.
Findings from a study suggest that the moving parts of the body, such as the leg are often prone to the undesirable effects of inflammations. The legs comprise many interdependent components such as the muscles, ligaments, bones, and articular joints all of which rely on the unified biological and mechanical manipulation of all tissues for optimal function. Therefore, the direct and indirect impact of inflammation on any of the component could have a multiplier effect that may deteriorate over time.
Many common inflammatory pathways have been traced to the causes of musculoskeletal disorders such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis.
The inflammatory constituent of the diet and muscle dysfunctions can result in dysfunctional tissue repair and imbalances leading to regulatory failure and other musculoskeletal tissue damage.
Conclusion
These findings provide evidence to the fact that healthy choices of foods protect against loss of physical functioning, especially in the adult years. This is particularly true with bone health. Be the best you can be, choose a more healthy diet, use a pro-inflammatory diet with caution, prevent bone fractures.
