Bone aging is a "silent killer", and the key to prevention and treatment is anti-aging!

If you were to ask what is the biggest factor affecting the longevity of Chinese seniors, the answer would probably be unexpected: falling. According to data from China's disease monitoring system, falling has become the leading cause of death from injuries among Chinese seniors over 65 years old. Once an elderly person falls and breaks a bone, it is often difficult for them to repair the fracture as efficiently as young people. If a hip fracture occurs, long-term bed rest will lead to a series of complications, which seriously affects the quality of life and life expectancy of the elderly.

The reason why the elderly are prone to fractures after a fall is that we have to mention the "silent killer" that harms the elderly - osteoporosis. Nowadays, osteoporosis has become the fourth largest chronic disease in my country. The prevalence of osteoporosis in people over 50 years old in my country has reached 19.2%, and that in people over 65 years old is as high as 32.0%; elderly women are the most susceptible group to osteoporosis, with the prevalence rate of people over 65 years old as high as 51.6%.

Aging is the most important cause of osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is caused by many reasons, but the most important and common factor is aging. Generally speaking, the human body's bone mass reaches its peak at around 35 years old, and then gradually declines. With age, especially after menopause in women and after men enter old age, the bone loss will be greater than the new bone production. If no timely intervention is made at this time, primary osteoporosis (including type I postmenopausal osteoporosis and type II senile osteoporosis) will occur. This is also the most common type in clinical practice, accounting for 90% of osteoporosis.

Postmenopausal osteoporosis is caused by the decline of ovarian function and the significant reduction of estrogen secretion after women reach a certain age. Estrogen plays an important role in bones. It can stimulate bone cells and produce bone matrix. If estrogen is deficient, the balance between bone absorption and bone formation will be broken, resulting in a decrease in bone mass, decreased bone strength, and damage to bone microstructure.

The main cause of senile osteoporosis is that bone absorption is greater than bone formation after aging, which leads to a series of problems such as decreased bone strength, increased bone brittleness and decreased bone quality. In addition, muscles will gradually atrophy as people age, and the decrease in exercise will cause muscle strength to weaken. The entire motor system will also decline, and osteoporosis will occur accordingly, making it more likely to suffer from falls and fractures.

To prevent and treat osteoporosis, anti-aging is the key

At present, almost everyone knows that to prevent and treat osteoporosis, calcium supplements, vitamin D, and more sun exposure are needed. However, if the skeletal system is compared to a large "building", calcium supplementation is equivalent to adding bricks and tiles to the building. Adding bricks and tiles alone cannot effectively increase the stability of the building. In contrast, we need to go back to the root of the problem - aging, to solve the problem of primary osteoporosis, so as to "reinforce" the skeletal building.

Chinese researchers have found that the kidney-tonifying and anti-aging drug Bazi Bushen Capsule can improve osteoporosis caused by estrogen deficiency. Researchers compared and found that when the rats' bilateral ovaries were removed, the model group rats would develop osteoporosis, and the bones would obviously become "hollow". After intervention with Bazi Bushen Capsule, the bone density of osteoporotic rats was significantly improved, and the bone microstructure, bone volume, and trabecular density were significantly improved. The estrogen level in the rats was also significantly increased.

A scientific research experiment conducted by Beijing University of Chinese Medicine showed that Bazi Bushen Capsule has a significant inhibitory effect on the destruction of bone microstructure caused by aging. The researchers first created an aging mouse model and found that the bone microstructure of aging mice was significantly damaged, the trabeculae became thinner, the structure was disordered, the bone strength was significantly reduced, and the composition of bone material also changed. When Bazi Bushen Capsule was given, the destruction of the bone microstructure of aging mice was inhibited, and the bone pathological microstructure and bone material were significantly improved. At the mechanism research level, it was found that this was because Bazi Bushen Capsule improved the redox balance in the body, thereby improving bone quality.

Various scientific research results have proved that Bazi Bushen Capsule has a significant improvement effect on postmenopausal osteoporosis and senile osteoporosis caused by aging, which brings new hope to the field of Chinese medicine for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. For ordinary people, if they want to live longer and healthier, they should protect their skeletal system when they are young, develop a good lifestyle, quit smoking and drinking, get more sun, exercise more, and accumulate sufficient "bone mass" for themselves, so that they can have young bones when they are old.
