Mahidol University research found that sodium content affects bone mass formation. and high blood pressure
Calcium is important for the body. Especially pregnant women, breastfeeding and the elderly who not only strengthen the bone mass for the strength of the mother. It is also important for the formation of bones and teeth of the fetus in order to be born completely and strong as well. For the elderly, it is necessary to maintain bone mass. Therefore, in addition to eating foods that are rich in calcium, it is essential. Must be careful about consuming foods that can become a problem for the strengthening of bones and teeth.
Prof. Dr. Naratthapol Charoenphan, Director of the Institute of Molecular Biosciences Lecturer, Department of Physiology Faculty of Science and Principal Investigator of the Calcium and Bone Research Unit Faculty of Science Mahidol University and members of the Royal Society Science Center Type of health science subject Department of Physiology Revealed the research done in conjunction with the Calcium and Bone Research Unit. Faculty of Science Mahidol University and the Synchrotron Light Research Institute (Public Organization), which is under the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation.
from the hypothesis of the relationship between the occurrence of hypertension Consuming foods that contain excess amounts of sodium and the incidence of osteoporosis that there is likely to be a connection By using a synchrotron 3D X-ray machine, the bones of rats suffering from hypertension were used. both from genetic factors or excessive sodium intake
The microstructure of the bones of these mice was found to be more porous than that of normal mice. thus leading to the conclusion that Both the consumption of sodium that is more than enough. and high blood pressure Can negatively affect the bones until osteoporosis can occur. And the more risk factors for high blood pressure already exist. will increase the risk of osteoporosis as well The research has been published in the academic journal “Scientific Reports”, a leading journal from the United Kingdom.
“Osteoporosis” can be found in both women and men. But most often problems with women in the menopause. Due to the deterioration of the body from the lack of estrogen hormones that play an important role in bone formation. maintain bone mass and prevent the deterioration of bone mass And even more will affect the disease. when there is a behavior that is addicted to eating salty taste
However, even too much sodium can cause harm to the body. But if consuming the right amount of sodium according to the Department of Health Ministry of Public Health recommends will have a positive effect on the absorption of both calcium and phosphorus, which are essential minerals for bone tissue formation Therefore, sodium or salty foods should not be viewed as the culprit. But in fact, the dangers of salty foods are caused by improper consumption.
In addition, the researcher hopes to extend the results of the study to the surveillance of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in the population of all age groups. which gives importance to only one disease May not cover other diseases that may have a connection with each other as well with the hope of inspiring the new generation to seriously study basic science
Before extending to advanced science, which requires basic science to explain various assumptions correctly for accurate research results can be applied in practice to further add value. For example, researchers have developed several formulas for calcium supplements. which contains components suitable for people with high blood pressure
