Bone disease is often not realized by anyone

Bone disease is often not realized by anyone. Usually people only realized after the bone condition is no longer possible to treat. So to reduce the potential for someone to experience a variety of complaints to the bone, it takes a complete and adequate information from health workers.Bone Health will support the activities of a person and improve performance.

A. Bone

Before learning more about the various diseases of bone, it helps us to know the structure of human bone. Bone is a buffer body and consists of collagen, a protein that besisi Kalsum and ka phosphate mineral that gives strength to hold the whole organ. The combination of collagen and calcium makes bone strong and flexible to withstand the pressure due to human activities. More than 99 percent of body calcium is in bones and teeth. And one percent was found in the blood. There are two types of bone that is

1. Cortical

Solid and strong. Outermost part of the bone.

2. Trabecular

The interior of the bone, hollow, and form the overall structure

Throughout human life, the bone continues to experience growth and improvement. The process is performed bone resorption and formation. During resorption, old bone cells will be damaged and replaced by specialized cells called osteoclasts. In the process of bone formation, new bone tissue to replace old bone cells. Cells that do this process are osteoblasts. Osteoclasts and osteoblasts during bone repair process requires a variety of hormones and vitamins, which are:

* Calcitonin

* Parathyroid

* Vitamin C

* Hormones estrogen (in women)

* Hormone testosterone (in men)

B. Here are some of the bone disease that is common to:

Osteoporosis

Which is a disease that causes decreased bone density. Osteoporosis, so undermining the power of trabecular bone strength is reduced drastically, as well as cortical bone thinning and whole bone will break easily. The disease is stalking people who are already advanced and women who entered menopause.

Osteomalacia

These diseases cause bones to become weak due to lack of

vitamin D or errors of metabolism in the body. As with osteoporosis, osteomalacia is also the potential to make rapid bone fractures.

Rickets

Rickets is often experienced by children who are growing. Bone formation in patients with abnormal rickets, which is a buildup of calcium in the bones because of too much calcium or milk consumption due to solar radiation.

Osteomyelitis

The infection attacks the bone and caused by bacterimia, or sepsis, that spreads and reduced bone strength.

C. Prevention and Treatment of Bone Disease

1. Exercising regularly will reduce the risk of bone disease. With a lot of moves, the composition of the bone is dense and avoidable loss or fractures.

2. Food intake should be a nutritious and high in fiber. Usahan to consume high-calcium milk

3. If you feel there are complaints around the bones or joints, immediately consult a doctor.

4. A balanced diet by eating foods rich in calcium and vitamin D

5. It is advisable not to smoke and consume alcohol

6. Conduct routine tests of bone strength
