Hello! I have been a doctor for 21 years. My name is Georgy Olegovich Sapego. In this article, I will talk about how tea drinkers ruin their spines and how people drown because they have heavy bones.
When people have osteoporosis, their bone mineral density is measured. Usually this density decreases or does not change, but there are situations when the density is high. That is, the bones become harder than usual.
This is worse than it sounds. Fractures are common in people with high bone mineral density. The fact is that high bone mineral density can be a sign of some kind of disease in the bones. Roughly as if hard lumps appeared in the semolina porridge, then the porridge is still not good, but bad.
Spondylosis
Everyone has heard something about him. This is when, with age, the vertebrae are deformed, thorns grow on them and all that. These extra spines add bone mass to the vertebrae, but are not useful.
The vertebrae rub each other with their overgrown horns and rub hard calluses. The result is a high mineral density that is harmful to health.
Bechterew's disease
This is a bad disease in which the immune system spoils the vertebrae. They grow together, and the spine turns into a hard, fragile stick.
Superglue in the spine
If the vertebra is flattened and folded like an accordion, then the mineral density in this place will increase. Simply because more bone mass has been compacted there.
Sometimes cement remains in the vertebrae after treatment. It is similar in composition to superglue. If you then check the mineral density, it will be high. Due to super glue.
Tea lovers
It's about excess fluoride. Remember fluoride, which strengthens teeth? If a person brushes their teeth too often and swallows toothpaste, fluoride will affect other bones as well. It is not very good for the bones, but their mineral density increases.
Something similar happens with tea lovers if the tea has absorbed a lot of fluoride from the soil.
Error
It happens that the device measures not the density of bones, but something else that is in the field of view. For example, calcium in the aorta or kidney stones. This is just a mistake.
In fact, there are several dozen different diseases that can be accompanied by an increase in bone mineral density.
Broad bone
It's not always about illness. Sometimes the bone is really wide and heavy. Such people even swim worse, because the bone pulls them to the bottom. They have large legs and a massive lower jaw.
With age, these bones hardly diminish or break down.
If you have checked your bone mineral density, then show the results to your doctor, because it is difficult to deal with this.
