Some foods contain elements that prevent the absorption of calcium in the body or help in excreting it through urine. If you consume these things for a long time, then the bones start becoming weak in the future.
Are you facing bone problems despite taking adequate amount of calcium every day? If yes, then there may be some foods in your diet that are silently pulling calcium from your body. As much as it is important to consume calcium to keep bones strong, it is equally important to avoid those things that eliminate this nutrient.
Experts say that some foods contain elements that prevent the absorption of calcium in the body or help in excreting it through urine. If you consume these things for a long time, then the risk of diseases like weakening of bones, joint pain and osteoporosis increases in the future.
1. Soda and cold drinks
The phosphoric acid present in soft drinks removes calcium from the bones. This reduces bone density and over time the bones start to weaken.
2. Too much salt
Excess salt flushes calcium out of the body through urine. This is extremely harmful for bones, especially for the elderly and women.
3. Caffeine drinks
Excessive caffeine present in tea, coffee or energy drinks prevents calcium from being absorbed by the bones. Consuming caffeine several times a day can affect bone strength.
4. Processed and packaged foods
Highly processed foods contain sodium, preservatives and chemicals, which disturb the mineral balance of the body and destroy calcium.
5. Too much protein
Although protein is essential, its excess quantity produces acid in the body. This acid forces the body to take calcium from the bones and neutralize it.
