According to internal media reports, a woman named Zhang has often felt back pain before, especially after quitting her job. However, she also often suffers from insomnia when she sleeps and wakes up easily in the middle of the night. She too after falling asleep, when she turned over, she woke up with a lot of pain in her legs and the quality of sleep was very poor. After seeking medical attention, it was confirmed that it was osteoporosis and the doctor also reminded her that the osteoporosis problem was very obvious.
The doctor pointed out that there is no problem with Zhang’s daily routine and diet, he has a regular routine and no bad habits, and his diet is also very light. However, as Zhang Nv prefers to eat bitter melon, as she believes bitter melon is rich in water and vitamins, she can also control blood sugar and blood pressure, lose weight and dissipate heat.
The doctor said: “Eating bitter gourd is equivalent to eating 10 pounds of salt at a time” and also pointed out that if you eat bitter gourd every day, the bones will become “honeycomb”. The doctor continued, because bitter melon contains a lot of oxalic acid, once absorbed into the human body, it will merge with the blood to form calcium oxalate, which in turn inhibits calcium metabolism. Not only does this not promote calcium proliferation, it also has the opportunity to cause kidney stones. Excessive consumption of bitter melon will accelerate the rate of decline in bone density and inhibit the activity of bone cells. Once the number of osteoclasts increases, it is detrimental to healthy bone growth, resulting in osteoporosis.
