Along with these food items, Nutritionist has also told some important bone facts. They wrote, ‘Cereals are not a good source of calcium because they contain phytic acid. They destroy the properties of calcium. Many animal protein foods like mutton and chicken lack calcium in the body. So it is important to have a balanced diet. A lot of salt is found in ready-made food items and it removes calcium from the body. Therefore, it is important to balance the intake of salt in the body.

They further wrote, ‘Drinking too much alcohol can increase the risk factor of osteoporosis. Therefore it should be consumed in limited quantity. Caffeine found in tea and coffee causes loss of calcium, so excessive consumption of tea or coffee should be avoided. Apart from this, nutritionists also recommend physical activity and taking vitamin D3.
