This happens because there is a kind of cell called osteoclast in the bone, which will cause pain when it devours the bone. It is also one of the most common complications of osteoporosis.
2. Shorter height: with the occurrence of osteoporosis , Shorter height and shorter body length are the most common things that happen, and it is also the reason why we see that the elderly are much shorter than the young in clinical practice, which is also prone to lumbar compression fractures and thoracic compression fractures and other related fractures.
And there will be a hunchback. Normal elderly people will be about 15~20 cm shorter in length when they suffer from osteoporosis, so Usually prevention of osteoporosis is particularly important.
3. Fractures: Hip joint fractures and femoral neck fractures are the most common fractures in osteoporosis, which will bring great harm to patients In mild cases, it will lead to disability and obstacles in self-care, and in severe cases, it may lead to death.

If there is a problem with the skin or blood vessels, the body cannot absorb enough calcium, so it is far from enough to supplement the calcium needed by the body by eating tofu.
Tofu is mainly made of soybeans, which contain more protein. Excessive intake of tofu will cause excess protein in the body. A large amount of acidic substances are produced in the body, and the pH of the blood in the body changes, causing the body to consume minerals in the bones to balance the pH.
