why Zee was case of worry to his mother
Answers
Many of us are chronic worriers, fretting over small things. This constant anxiety can weaken our bones and get vitamin D levels down, according to a new study. It has been established earlier that anxiety, fatigue and loneliness — all synonymous with modern living — can lower bone mineral density. But for the first time a study has discovered that highly anxious women are at higher risk of low bone density, breaks and fractures. A team of Italian researchers has found out that women with anxiety have three per cent greater risk of hip fractures and a four per cent higher risk of other fractures than men. Highly anxious women are at higher risk of low bone density, breaks and fractures.
Says Dr Sagar Mandada, psychiatrist, “Excess worry is perceived as distress by our body. Increased long-term stress causes unbalanced release of cortisol and has been associated with many changes in the body, especially bone and joint related problems. Stress impacts Vitamin D levels as well. One should increase the intake of Omega 3 fatty acids as it improves brain function and anxiety.
