Some foods and drinks we love can actually weaken our bones...
There are some things we take in every day that can actually do a number on the strength of our bones. Here are some foods we need to be careful with:
• Salt saps calcium from the bones, weakening them over time.
• Soda can be a problem too. The fizziness from phosphoric acid causes us to excrete precious calcium.
• Coffee and tea can be hard on the bones. For every small cup of coffee we drink – we lose about 6 milligrams of calcium.
• Alcohol is a calcium-blocker; it prevents the bone-building minerals you eat from being absorbed. And if you suffer a fracture – alcohol can interfere with healing.
