"In fact, I went to give a speech that day because I was injured and suffered pain." Lin Qingxia, a famous movie star, recently published a long article, recounting that when she gave a speech at a university last month, she actually cracked two ribs and gave a speech on stage.

Lin Qingxia said in the long article that the speech was on June 15, but at 11:00 pm on the 13th, she took half a sleeping pill and wanted to recite the speech again before going to bed. At 11:30, she took another sleeping pill, "I don’t know why this one and a half still makes me sleepless all night. Seeing the time pass by minute by minute, I was anxious to swallow another half, and I fell asleep unknowingly. When I felt a big turn, there was a loud’pop ‘sound, that was the sound of my ribs hitting the slate…"
After falling out of bed, Lin Qingxia felt pain in her left chest. In order not to affect the rest of the trip, she carried out related activities according to the original schedule on the morning of the 14th, provided that she could bear the pain in her body. But when she finished lunch and got up, she felt a "thump" in her ribs, which made her have to worry about her physical condition.
Lin Qingxia, who did not want to go to a big hospital, chose a clinic with better privacy. At this clinic, Lin Qingxia took X-rays. After seeing the X-rays, the doctor said: "The bones are not cracked, there is no congestion." This made her relax.
Later, a friend advised Lin Qingxia to go to the hospital for another examination, saying that the hair-like cracks could not be seen the first time, but would be found the second time. Then, she took two X-rays, and the doctor told her that two ribs were cracked, and it would take about two months to heal.
Lin Qingxia, who will turn 70 in a few months, did not talk too much about her pain, but expressed her story with the mentality of "actually I am very lucky". She said: "Although I broke my ribs, I am very grateful. I am grateful that my face was not scratched when I rolled off the bed, and my ribs were cracked but it was not a big problem."

Avoid fractures "Prevent falls + treat bone looseness"
The elderly are at higher risk of osteoporosis, especially women. Osteoporosis can lead to multiple fractures throughout the body, with hip, spine and wrist fractures being the most common. Bone density testing is the most effective screening method for osteoporosis. If the elderly have a fracture due to a minor external force or a flat fall, it is likely to be an "osteoporotic fracture", which means the patient has osteoporosis and needs attention.
At the same time, with the increase of age, the muscles of the elderly are atrophied, normal muscle tissue has become adipose tissue, and the strain capacity of the elderly will be correspondingly reduced. Therefore, for the elderly, muscle exercise can promote the improvement of the elderly’s strain response ability. In special circumstances, the central nervous system can issue instructions in time to make the muscles contract quickly, so as to prevent the elderly from falling.
Prevention of fractures is more important than treatment. In terms of lifestyle, it is necessary to strengthen nutrition and increase the intake of calcium-rich foods, such as dairy products, soy products, seafood, nuts, green leafy vegetables, etc.; ensure adequate and direct sunlight, more than half an hour a day; maintain regular exercise, such as walking, playing tai chi, dancing, practicing yoga, etc.; quit smoking, and avoid excessive alcohol consumption, coffee and carbonated drinks.
Use anti-fall living facilities, such as bathroom anti-skid mats, handrails, etc., and install floor lamps and other devices at home.
