Are Your Daily Habits Hurting Your Bones? 5 Things to Avoid Ft. Dr. JV Srinivas
Here are 5 common habits that can weaken your bones over time. Start changing them today to protect your bone health!
Alcohol
Excessive alcohol intake weakens bones by disrupting the balance between bone formation and resorption, leading to lower bone density and higher fracture risk.
Soda
High phosphoric acid in soda interferes with calcium absorption, reducing bone density and increasing fracture risk.
Too Much Salt
Excess salt increases calcium loss through urine, leading to weaker bones and a higher chance of osteoporosis.
Smoking
Nicotine reduces blood flow to bones, decreases calcium absorption, and disrupts bone-strengthening hormones like estrogen.
Poor Diet
A diet low in calcium, vitamin D, and protein increases the risk of bone loss. Excess sugar and saturated fat can further harm bone health.
Adopting healthier habits can significantly improve your bone strength.
