There are something which harm from your bone health.😖😖😖

Bones are an important part of the human body. They have important functions such as support, movement and protection of internal organs. However, bone health will get worse with age. In addition to the inevitable bone loss with age, there are also some foods which harm from your bone health. 

1. Sugar

Although sugar is an important source of human energy and an essential component of the human body, excessive sugar is the source of many diseases. Excessive intake can directly or indirectly lead to following major problems: obesity, diabetes, cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases and dental caries. In addition, excessive intake of sugar can also harm the bones. 

• When sucrose is metabolized in the body, it needs to consume a variety of minerals and vitamins, calcium is also one of them.
• Excessive sugar intake will directly affect the intake of other nutrients such as vitamins, dietary fiber, protein and minerals. It results in potassium deficiency, vitamin deficiency and calcium deficiency.
• Children who eat too much sweets are also one of the important reasons for the increase in their fracture rate.

In addition to obvious high-sugar foods such as candy, ice cream, and beverages, there are other foods that actually contain high sugars. Such as: yogurt, nutritious oatmeal, biscuits, nuts, potato chips, various sauces such as ketchup, salad dressing.

2. Salt

The main component of salt is sodium chloride which is mainly distributed in the human body in the form of ions. It content a large number and has a various effect in the human body.

When a person consumes too much salt, it will increase the concentration of sodium ions in the body. There is a competitive relationship between sodium ions and calcium ions in the human body. The increase of sodium ions will accelerate the loss of calcium ions. With the increase of urinary calcium excretion, the amount of bone calcium will decrease. It results in bone diseases such as osteoporosis and fractures. If the calcium content in the diet is low and high-salt food is taken, it will cause negative calcium balance and stimulate the parathyroid glands to increase the secretion of calcitonin. It causes bone loss and leading to hypocalcemia. A long-term high-salt diet will not only harm bones, but also cause different diseases such as cardiovascular and kidney diseases.

In addition to cooking with less salt, also pay attention to eating less high-sodium foods such as seasonings (such as soy sauce, chili sauce), processed foods (such as ham, sausage), and preserved foods (such as kimchi).

3. Alcohol

In addition to hurting the stomach and liver, drinking alcohol can also hurt bones. Drinking too much alcohol can increase the body's cortisol level. Cortisol can directly inhibit bone formation and indirectly stimulate bone resorption. It leads to bone loss. In addition, drinking too much alcohol will also cause an imbalance in the body's calcium nutrition metabolism. This will not only affect the absorption of calcium in food, but also make bone calcium be removed and the amount of calcium excretion greatly increased. It results in severe bone calcium deficiency and ultimately osteoporosis. Long-term heavy drinking will also affect the absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus in the intestines. This will reduce bone formation. 

In addition to bone damage, alcohol can also damage the brain, cardiovascular, esophagus, gastrointestinal, liver, prostate and other organs. It can induces diseases of related organs and cause acute and chronic alcoholism and cancer. Therefore, it is better to drink less alcohol.

👉The health of the bones is very important. Poor bone quality will affect people's quality of life, and may even endanger lives. Therefore, we must protect our bones. In addition to supplementing calcium with calcium supplements, you should also pay more attention to your own lifestyle habits.
