The result, women who drink cola on a regular basis (four colas per week), have lower bone density than those who avoid drinking cola. Meanwhile, those who drank cola daily had a decrease in bone density compared to four percent of those who do not consume cola.

Interestingly, in this study did not provide much cola adverse effect on bone density of men. But until now the team is still researching the reasons why this carbonated beverages affect bone density in women. In this diet cola has a comparable effect with regular cola, but decaffeinated cola (without the caffeine content) has no effect on bone density. In conclusion, caffeine in cola is the main cause of increased risk of osteoporosis in women.

Dr. Mone Zaidi, director of the Mount Sinai Bone Program at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York City in support of the research done at Tufts University said: “The involvement of caffeine in the absorption of calcium caused inhibition of the formation of bone mineral composition. If the consume cola habits at a young age continue to be done, it is quite possible they will have osteoporosis before reaching menopause.

And at the age of 30, the body more calcium than storing waste, let alone loss of bone will continue to occur gradually in the age of 40 – 50 years. In addition each person would experience the coming of bone loss varied. It was very reasonable, given the body’s metabolism, while calcium alone will be lost through the nails and sweat, so there should be input calcium, through food. Because the campaign was drinking milk or foods high in calcium since a very young age needs to be done, to prevent the porous bone.

What is bot?
The bones of the human skeleton supports and protects the softer parts of the body. The bone is a living tissue. The skeleton is growing rapidly in the early years and restore itself after fractures. Bones contain marrow in the center, which is clearly softer in texture than the exterior of bone. strong>Bone marrow consists of cells which include the red and white blood cells.

The red blood cells are responsible for the oxygen to the tissues and the white blood cells protect the body against germs. Bot also includes minerals, especially calcium and Fosfor.then miner momentum forms a crystalline, Because of its unique bone structure, a high tax treaties.

What bone break?
Bones are rigid, but what can bend, “give” when an external force is performed on the bone. If the load stops taking the bone back to its original shape.

If you, for example, for assaults on an outstretched arm there is an impact on the bones and connective tissue of the wrist when you hit the ground. The bones of wrist and forearm absorb the energy of the fall by what to give (to fold) and immediately take back to their original shape. Is the force too significant than breaking the bones as a bar which plastick get bent too far.

Types of bone fractures.
The severity of a fracture depends on the force which caused the fracture.
When the breakpoint of the bone is only slightly violated rather than enter into a crack instead of a complete break

However, if the force is very high, as eg in a car accident, the bone may shatter. If the bone fragments so that breaks the skin stabbing, a wound or if the broken bone reveals we speak of an open fracture. These open fracture is worse than a closed fracture damage and contamination can occur because of the bone and surrounding soft tissues. This often leads to infections which can be difficult to treat.

“Osteoporosis affects one in every five women over 45, and four out of ten of more than 75 years“

Prevention is done by correcting the risk factors and hygiene measures – adequate diet. Today, we have analysis and radiological studies, applied to the patient, can identify those that are undergoing rapid and accelerated bone loss, and institute treatment as quickly as possible.

The first procedure to prevent osteoporosis is to achieve all the requirements necessary to achieve good peak bone mass at skeletal maturity is reached, about thirty-five years. Accordingly, during adolescence and youth, it is recommended adequate intake of dietary calcium or vitamin supplements, adequate physical exercise, the elimination of snuff and alcohol. Thus, if bone maturity calcium reserve is sufficient, despite the loss that will start at this age you will notice the lack so much later.

Vitamin D is essential for regulating calcium metabolism. Exposure to sunlight 30 minutes a day is enough to boost production in the body of adequate amounts of vitamin D, and if this is not possible should use pharmacological preparations containing it.

Furthermore, after menopause, the abrupt decrease in the production of hormones, primarily estrogen, it accelerates the metabolism of calcium loss in the same, hence this group of women are advised to increase calcium intake. Foods that contain calcium and are useful in these cases are milk and its products, especially cheese, in case of intolerance to dairy products may be indicated to replace them with calcium salts. In some cases, medication is necessary to estrogen.

Regarding the recommended physical activity is enough to walk 30 to 60 minutes, 3 to 4 times a week in a methodical and continuous. And as for the harmful elements to the disease, should be removed toxins such as alcohol and snuff.

In summary, osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become fragile and they break easily. From medicine, the specialist helps identify patients with risk factors, establish the strategy for correcting them and hygienic measures – diet appropriate to each case.

Osteoporosis prevention plays an important role when considering the disease, the correction of risk factors and modification of personal hygiene habits – diet, are the cornerstones to consider.

Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become more porous, thin and fragile, therefore the mechanical strength of the forces and tensions that supports daily, is much smaller, increasing the risk of fractures. The disease affects one in five women over forty-five, and four out of ten of more than seventy-five years. In this way entails a social health problem because it is the main cause of bone fractures in women after menopause and the elderly.

Now, why bones become porous and fragile, ’cause bone loss (protein and minerals, mainly calcium). How can you lose?, In the bone is constantly remodeling processes: bone mass is constantly formed and reabsorbed. From thirty-five years of life about (the peak age of accumulation of bone mass), begins to have normal bone mass loss in small quantities for the rest of life, if to this we add factors that accelerate these losses, the process accelerates.

The symptoms by which the disease manifests itself is the occurrence of fractures that cause pain, the areas mainly affected are the wrists, vertebrae and hip. Vertebral fracture, usually occurs with minimal exertion or minor trauma, severe pain occurs in the area with limitation of movements.

To treat severe pain, the doctor must play all his art to get the maximum analgesic effect with minimal side effects associated with the initiation of treatment. A complex of essential oils may, in this area, improve many things.

The treatment of severe pain, conventional medicine pass through the prescription of analgesics (painkillers) usually accompanied by strong unpleasant side effects. This has prompted Dr. Mark Paya develop an aromatherapy formula specific to the problem of pain intensity, Dol’arôme (90% perilla oil and 10% essential oils of yarrow, of Kaffir lime, of yary, bay and wintergreen). This formula can be used safely as simple analgesic support in chronic pain, but it is mainly a complement to more powerful treatments, such as in severe painful conditions for which the therapist is always enclosed between efficacy and side effects.

Three examples illustrate their use.

Osteoarthritis pain

First example: it is a patient of 65 years when he was prescribed a DMARD to improve his arthritis. These treatments are usually effective, but require an outlet extending at least three months so that the effects will be significant. It is usually associated in this period, an anti-inflammatory or analgesic pure, which have side effects either in the digestive system or the liver.

Dr. Mark Paya was associated with the treatment of substance taking Dol’arôme for 3 to 6 capsules per day. This requirement has revealed a clear decrease of pain after ten days, and obtains an analgesic effect which was then relayed by the effect of therapy.

In this type of pain, the patient can reduce the dose gradually until the total cessation of treatment Dol’arôme, or, if deemed necessary, maintain a lower dose to maintain the analgesic effect.

Neuropathic pain

Second example: some painful events, such as neuropathic pain, are difficult to treat and require a deep knowledge of combination therapy by the physician. The treatments often have side effects for the least unpleasant. One of the best known examples corresponds to postherpetic neuralgia, persisting after the rash of shingles.

In these cases, the combination of Dol’arôme specific treatment, has achieved a level of comfort analgesic very convenient for the patient who had no need to use higher doses of allopathic treatment. When the pain began to decrease, the use of Dol’arôme has achieved specific levels to reduce and then stop treatment.

Fibromyalgia

Third example: it is the dramatic case of a patient fibromyalgia, undiagnosed and labeled as psychotic, for which psychiatric treatment was heavy set up.

The pain reached such a level that has been prescribing high doses of morphine to calm them down and replace the antipsychotic treatment (which increased muscle problems of the patient), an antidepressant with analgesic effects, associated at Dol’arôme. When improving muscular mobility appeared, the patient for several months, continued the Dol’arôme and decreased levels of the upload to switch to a pre-morphine, a painkiller then commonplace. The patient has successfully completed a vocational rehabilitation and continues processing associated with analgesic Dol’arôme.

Rickets classic deficiency disease of infancy characterized by inadequate development or weakening of the bones, is caused by an insufficient amount of vitamin D in the diet, or certain diseases that prevent absorption of calcium salts in excessive removal kidney calcium and phosphorus or insufficient solar ultraviolet radiation, which blocks the conversion in the skin of 7-dehidroesteroles, such as 7-dehydrocholesterol and ergosterol, causing vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol), respectively.

In adults, vitamin D deficiency manifests as osteomalacia (softening of bones), disorders due to inadequate bone mineralization. In children there is an additional failure of mineralization of growth cartilage at the ends of bones. The new bone is prone to warp inadequate. The type of skeletal deformity depends largely on the child’s age when there is deficiency of vitamin D.

In general, deformed ankles and wrists and are forming bumps on the ribs called rachitic rosary, the head is enlarged and the chest is narrow. A child who has not yet learned to walk develop spinal deformities, whereas a child who develops them walking legs. The nervous system also undergoes changes, affected children are irritable, have difficulty sleeping and excessive sweating. The alterations produced in the muscles causes the belly bulge characteristic of this disease.

Bone provides shape and support the body, protect internal organs against trauma, provides locomotion and acts as a storage place of minerals, especially calcium and phosphorus, which in turn can be released to maintain fluid balance body. It also provides bone marrow is essential for the development and storage of blood cells.

The human skeleton consists of 206 bones, not counting the teeth: 80 axial bones which include the bones of the head, face, hyoid, auditory, trunk, ribs and sternum, and 126 of appendicular bones, including those of arms, shoulders, wrists, hands, legs, hips, ankles and feet.

There are two types of bone:

- Cortical and compact. It forms the outer layer and hardest bones, but most are in the diaphyseal (middle part) of long bones. Accounts for 80% of bone mass. Provides protection, support and resists the efforts that occur in the movements.

- Trabecular or spongy. Forms the major part of the vertebral body, the epiphyses (ends) of long bones and is present elsewhere. It consists of a network called lamellae arranged in trabeculae, within each trabecula cells are directly receiving nutrients from the blood flowing through the marrow cavities. It is the most active metabolic skeleton.

Classification

The fracture classification methods are various, and depend on the type of break bones or body area affected, as well as other associated factors. They can be classified according to etiology in “pathological”, “traumatic”, “running fatigue or stress” and “obstetric”.

Exhibition

Depending on whether the fracture communicates with the outside world or not, are classified as:

1. Closed, if the tip of the fracture is not associated with skin breakdown, or if there is injury, it does not communicate with the outside.
2. Open or exposed, if there is a wound that the fracture communicates with the outside through it allowing the passage of pathogens from the skin or the outside.

In chest trauma fractures may occur one or more ribs. The ribs are broken as it usually does a green branch, or who fail to separate the fractured edges. If it has and the number is small and broken ribs on one side (1-5), the victim’s chest pain present at the fracture site, but you can not breathe while make a substantial effort. This pain is typically more pronounced the day after the accident. However, if the number of broken ribs is greater and, above all, if you have fractured on both sides of the chest can produce what is called “paradoxical breathing, in which the breast, the affected, rather to expand on inspiration, sinks, moving backward into expiration. It is then to a serious situation requiring immediate medical treatment, as if the edges of the broken ribs are separated from each other: then the danger exists that these edges, breathing movements, tearing the pleura and lung , resulting in a pneumothorax, a situation of extreme gravity of which the patient has great difficulty breathing.

In case of fractured skull, the accident can be conscious or unconscious. Either way, should be transferred immediately to a health center (see “Loss of sense”). It also requires hospital treatment that a person who has beaten his head and blood from the nose or ears, since you probably have seen a basilar skull fracture.

Provided that a severe trauma, such as a fall down a ravine, it is possible that there has been a fracture-dislocation in the spine. If the casualty is conscious, ask him to move all four extremities. If you are unable to do so, we suspect that this injury has occurred, in which case we move it all the time trying not to move your head relative to the trunk and the trunk is kept straight, like a table. Thus avoiding the dislocated vertebra cause further injury to the spinal cord. To carry out this operation takes several people (minimum 5), which should act all at once and always follow clear and precise instructions from any person who directs the maneuver. The same precautions we take in the event that the person does not have regained consciousness.

Makeshift splint

The first thing to do when a bone is fractured is immobilized. Thus largely alleviated the pain and avoid the edges, sometimes sharp, broken bone, producing tears in blood vessels, nerves or other soft tissues like skin. If it’s a limb, improvise a splint with sticks, poles or any long object we find. A scarf or belt to hold them to serve both sides of the injured limb. A broken leg, if we find nothing but how to fix it, we can sell with the other leg, which will then fractured splint. The same can be done in case of broken bones of the hand or foot: to sell the affected finger with its adjacent.

If the accused has a broken bone deformity, carefully straighten agree. This naturally produces sharp pain, but it must be done to prevent any nerve damage or circulatory. When the edge of a bone hurts a major vein or artery can occur quickly serious bleeding, which can be appreciated in case of open fracture (with injury) or remain unnoticed if closed fracture
