Routine bone density scans for osteoporosis have led to an epidemic of prescribing 'bone-strengthening' drugs, which can actually lead to brittle bones.
Allopathic Medicine interprets the causes of disease diagnoses to enhance the sale of its products that promote chronic diseases. It is about positioning the public as a group of people who are naive or incapable of taking responsibility for themselves, or of making critical and responsible decisions. The public ends up accepting the imposed measures and even supporting them with conviction.
Among osteoporosis patients, up to 30% to 60% of female and male subjects are actually affected by a secondary cause of bone fragility
Elevated levels of cortisol interfere with osteoblast formation and dramatically decrease bone formation, decreasing bone density.
Glucocorticoids (GC) are used as medications that reduce pain and inflammation symptoms in rheumatological/traumatological, allergic/immune, respiratory, oncological and endocrine diseases.
Among the adverse effects are: fluid retention with the appearance of edema, alteration of the proper functioning of the adrenal glands with an increase in cortisol, causing an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, osteoporosis/fractures. , obesity and hyperglycemia/diabetes, among others
Glucocorticoids (GC) reduce bone mineral density by increasing the activity of osteoclasts and decreasing the activity of osteoblasts and osteocytes. GCs inhibit the synthesis of osteoprotegerin and interferon-beta, both inhibitors of osteoclastogenesis. As a result, a strong suppression of bone formation and the anabolic function of osteoblasts.
Compared to people who do not have osteoporosis, those with osteoporosis have a higher incidence of depression. People with depression are more likely to also have osteoporosis (OR: 1.60). In subgroup analysis, there was a higher relative probability of osteoporosis in men (OR: 2.47), people between 50 and 65 years old have a higher risk (OR: 2.16), high BMI (OR: 1.67 ), taking prednisone or cortisone (OR: 2.92). Therefore, doctors should pay attention to middle-aged osteoporosis and elderly people with depression.
If you want to reduce cortisol levels and improve bone health, here are some simple lifestyle changes that go a long way:
1) Get about eight hours of sleep per night. Prevent chronic stress by setting healthy boundaries, employing time management techniques, and maintaining a work-life balance.
2) Engage in stress management techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, and guided imagery.
3) Optimize levels of vitamin D. K2, K1, and relationships between magnesium, calcium and phosphorus and potassium intake.
4) Engage in regular exercise. Cardiovascular exercise will help you control stress and depression, maintain heart health; Weight training helps build healthy bones.
