What are the reasons for weak bones?
Now people’s bones are becoming weak at the age of 30 to 40. Due to this, problems like pain in back, shoulders and knees start appearing. A major cause of bone pain is vitamin D deficiency. To overcome this deficiency, people take Vitamin D medicines and some people also take its injections. But still the problem of bone pain persists in many people, but what is the reason for it? Let us know about this from experts.
Dr. Sankalp Mehta, former Orthopedic Department at RML Hospital It is said that Vitamin D is a major cause of bone weakness in the body. In today’s time, people do not take sunlight, due to which there is deficiency of Vitamin D in the body, to overcome this, supplements are given, but not only Vitamin D, along with this the amount of calcium in the body is also important to be correct. But many people also have less calcium. He does not get it tested and only gets Vitamin D tested and takes its medicines. In such a situation, the bones are not repaired properly.
Along with Vitamin D, Calcium is also equally important.
Dr. Mehta says that Vitamin D works properly in the body only when calcium is also present in good quantity. If calcium is low then bones do not become strong despite consuming vitamin D. In such a situation, it is important to take them along. If a person does not take calcium along with Vitamin D, there is a risk of osteoporosis. Due to this, bones can become thin and weak at an early age, which increases the risk of fracture. Due to this, muscle pain and fatigue also persists. Deficiency of Vitamin D and Calcium can also cause pain and weakness in muscles.
