Avoid These For Healthy Bones

What you eat has an enormous impact on the condition of your bones in particular and the skeletal system in general. When it comes to building stronger bones, most of us have some vague idea of eating calcium-rich foods or occasionally popping a vitamin D pill. However, few of us know that not all foods are good for the bones. Some can harm bone health indirectly.

Today, let’s talk about foods you should avoid if you want healthy bones.

Foods which hurt bone health

1. Salty foods: If you frequently eat foods which are salty, you could end up losing calcium from your bones, which in turn makes them more brittle and weak. Salt causes the body to dispose off calcium stored in the bones through the urine. If you cannot avoid salt, at least control its intake by cutting out salty food from your diet. 

2. Sugary edibles: Excess sugar in your blood reduces the body’s capacity to absorb and store calcium. Moreover, your bones start to leak phosphorus, which is an important mineral required to maintain optimal bone health. 

3. Soft drinks: Fizzy drinks may quench your thirst, but they also reduce the body’s capacity to absorb calcium from the food you eat. This is because of the phosphoric acid which is often added to soft drinks as a food additive. 

4. Coffee: The caffeine present in coffee and other caffeinated drinks are known to cause leakage of calcium from the bones, which reduces bone strength and rigidity. If you really want to drink coffee, then opt for the decaffeinated brands. Otherwise, you can just switch to healthier drinks like green tea. 

5. Alcohol: Regular consumption of alcohol can decrease bone mass, reduce the rate of bone formation and heighten the risk of getting fractures. Alcohol can also interfere with the working of medicines you may be taking for diseases like Osteoarthritis.
