A man Cung Cung (Fujian, China) had a serious thigh fracture after a cough even 35 years old.According to Mr. Cung recounted, recently I had a cold but did not want to take medicine, so I coughed and my runny nose persisted.That evening, he ate a little cold food so he coughed more intense.During one cough, he suddenly felt pain in his left thigh.He thought that he had cramps so he did not care too much, tried to compress the pain and went to bed.

At midnight, Mr. Cung was startled to wake up because of the pain in his thigh.He discovered that he could not walk but tried to wait until it was completely bright and asked the family to take him to the hospital.The results of X-ray at the People's Hospital of PEOPLE 2 Fujian (China) made him shocked: his left thigh bone was broken into two pieces just because of a cough.
Dr. Dong Trung, Head of the Hospital's Department of Trauma and Orthopedics, said that Mr. Cung had a pathological fracture, occurring due to very serious early osteoporosis.Although only 35 years old, Mr. Cung's bones were told by the doctor to be "porous like honeycomb", the amount of bone equivalent to an old man of 80 years old.
Osteoporosis is characterized by a decrease in bone density and micro structure of the bone, making the bone weak and brittle.In people with osteoporosis, the bone loses certainty, decreasing bone density and bone structure becomes more porous than normal and brittle people.
According to Dr. Dong Trung:“At adulthood, the femur often occurs only after strong impacts such as traffic accidents or falling from large heights.However, in the case of the patient, he had early osteoporosis.

This is a situation of osteoporosis that occurs at a younger age than usual, usually before the age of 50.While osteoporosis usually occurs in the elderly, especially after menopause women, early osteoporosis can occur in young people due to lifestyle or pathological factors that affect the health of bone.This patient is due to drinking too much carbonated soft drinks. ”
Why drink plenty of carbonated soft drinks early?
Also according to Dr. Dong Trung, when in a wheelchair, he still took a bottle of carbonated soft drink.Asked that the past few years, he almost drank it instead of filtered water.
The cause of drinking lots of carbonated soft drinks is explained by Dr. Dong Trung as follows:“Carbonated soft drinks contain phosphorus and sugar.When drinking too much, the body will imbalance calcium due to phosphorus hindering calcium absorption.Moreover, in the process of sugar metabolism, the body must consume a large amount of important minerals, including calcium.This forces the bone to release calcium to compensate, leading to osteoporosis and fracture. ”
He also warned that in addition to causing osteoporosis, drinking lots of carbonated soft drinks also brings a lot of other health problems.For example, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, fatty liver, increased risk of cancer ...

Besides drinking excessive carbonated soft drinks, there are some bad habits in the lifestyle prone to premature osteoporosis such as: Nutrition deficiency (vitamin D and calcium), sedentary lazy, smoking, drinking a lot of alcohol, eatingExcess salt ... hormone disorders, side effects of the drug or genetic factors may also increase the risk of osteoporosis.People with some chronic diseases such as hyperthyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis, Celiac, Crohn ... are also prone to osteoporosis due to the disease that hinders calcium absorption.
