Manahawkin Vitamin Deficiencies in Women Related to Fracture Risk
Fractures are enemies of Manahawkin women and men. They result in pain and long recoveries. Manahawkin postmenopausal women tend to be at higher risk of fractures, particularly those who have vitamin deficiencies. Manahawkin vitamin deficiencies are pretty [simple|easy]6] to test for and tackled with Manahawkin Chiropractic Center's help should testing divulge such deficiencies. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center guides Manahawkin chiropractic patients who are ready to have their vitamin status evaluated and help them 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 recent study reported 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 old and tracked for 6.3 years (plus or minus 5.1 years). 29.7% of these women had fractures during this time. The number of deficiencies (0/no deficiencies to 3/deficient in D, K and B) was significantly associated with fracture risk. (1) In light of this report, Manahawkin Chiropractic Center notes that it’s important to check for vitamin deficiencies and address them.
WHAT TO DO TO FIX VITAMIN DEFICIENCIES AND PREVENT Manahawkin FRACTURES
Manahawkin Chiropractic Center notes that the risk of fragility fractures is more than the risk of breast cancer for postmenopausal women. One in 3 are at risk. Luckily, Manahawkin fracture risk may well be controlled by healthy lifestyle modifications like vitamin supplementation, weight-bearing exercise, limited alcohol consumption and no smoking. Vitamin supplementation including 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 with 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) reduced bone loss. Menaquinone-4 had the strongest impact on vertebral fracture reduction. (4) And while vitamin B supplementation alone didn’t demonstrate a significant effect on osteoporotic fracture occurrence in patients with cerebrovascular disease, it did reveal a modest impact. (5) Patients with very high plasma homocysteine levels and vascular disease seemed to benefit more from vitamin B supplementation (folate, B6, and B12) to prevent osteoporotic fractures. Vitamin B effectively modifies HCy levels considered to have a role in osteoporotic fracture and bone turnover. (6) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center considers all sorts of factors when guiding patients in nutritional supplementation.
