Fractures are enemies of Millville women and men.
They lead to pain and long recoveries. Millville
postmenopausal women tend to be at higher
risk of fractures, especially those who experience
vitamin deficiencies. Millville vitamin deficiencies are pretty
[simple|easy]6] to test for and addressed with Wilson Family Chiropractic's help should testing reveal such deficiencies. Wilson Family Chiropractic directs
Millville chiropractic patients who want to find out about their
vitamin status with nutrition and address any deficiencies in order to lessen
fracture risk.
VITAMIN DEFICIENCIES AND FRACTURE RISK
The more the merrier? Not really
when it comes to several vitamin deficiencies! A new
study told that the cumulative effect of vitamin deficiencies
intensified the risk of incident fractures in
postmenopausal women. Vitamin D, vitamin K and vitamin B levels were recorded
in women over 50 years of age and tracked for 6.3 years
(plus or minus 5.1 years). 29.7% of these women had fractures
during that time period. The number of deficiencies
(0/no deficiencies to 3/deficient in D, K and B) was significantly associated with fracture risk. (1) Regarding this report, Wilson Family Chiropractic notices the importance of
checking for vitamin deficiencies
and tackle them.
WHAT TO DO TO IMPROVE VITAMIN DEFICIENCIES AND AVOID
Millville FRACTURES
Wilson Family Chiropractic points out that the risk of fragility
fractures is higher than the risk of breast cancer for postmenopausal
women. One in 3 are at risk. Fortunately, Millville
fracture risk may well be limited by healthy
lifestyle changes like vitamin supplementation, weight-bearing
exercise, limited alcohol consumption and not smoking. Vitamin
supplementation incorporating at least 1000 mg/day of calcium,
800 IU/day of vitamin D, and 1 gram/kilogram of body weight of protein in women
over 50 is suggested. (2) Vitamin D plus calcium supplementation
lessens the risk of total fractures by 15% and hip fractures by
30%, specifically. (3) Oral vitamin K supplementation (phytonadione and menaquinone-4)
decreased bone loss. Menaquinone-4 demonstrated
the strongest effect on vertebral fracture reduction. (4) And while
vitamin B supplementation alone didn’t
show a significant effect on osteoporotic fracture
occurrence in patients with cerebrovascular disease, it did show
a modest impact. (5) Patients with very high plasma homocysteine
levels and vascular disease appeared to benefit more from vitamin
B supplementation (folate, B6, and B12) to prevent osteoporotic fractures. Vitamin
B appropriately changes HCy levels considered
to have a role in osteoporotic fracture and bone turnover. (6) Wilson Family Chiropractic considers
all kinds of factors when guiding patients in
nutritional supplementation.
