8 Habits That Make Your Bones Weak

1. Not Taking Fish And Calcium-Rich Foods

People who don't take calcium foods such as milk, yoghurt, fish (salmon and sardines) etc are at a higher risk of bone density loss and weak bones. They can get fracture with a small fall. So save your bones by adding calcium-rich foods in your daily diet. They work better than calcium supplements.

Not eating is bad

2. Not Sitting Under Sun 

In most states of India such as Kashmir the sun light rarely comes out from the mighty clouds. So people can't avail the benefits of vitamin D of the sun. When sun is shining, go outside and sit for some time to get vitamin D for your bones to make them strong.

Go under sun and get a morning sun bath

3. Siting In A Wrong Position 

Sitting on the floor for a long time will have a devastating effect on your leg joints as they are frequently being subjected to wear and tear.

Maintaining a bad pose is harmful to your bone

4. Thyroid Medications 

If you suffer from thyroid disorder such as hypothyroidism and are taking thyroid hormones for this, you are at a higher risk of having weak bones. This thyroid medication will take away the calcium from your bones as a side effect. So never forget to take calcium supplements after a gap of at least 5 hours after taking thyroid medicine.

5. Too Much Salt Intake 

Salt removes calcium from the body through urine. So if you have the habit of having processed and junk foods that are high in salt, limit them as your bones will start getting weak. Also limit salt intake in your daily foods. You can also opt for low sodium salt available in the market. It is one of the habits that is harmful for bone health.

Excessive Salt intake is bad

6. Not Paying Attention 

Your body is always giving signals to you when something is wrong. When something is wrong with the bones they will start making a sound called knuckles when you get up or walk. This means you have calcium deficiency. If you are also having lower back pain and feel pain after walking then these are also the signs of weak bones.

Exercise and listen to what your bone gonna say about it

7. Overweight 

Being obese has many health hazards. Apart from this it can also create a havoc in your bones. If you are overweight then the excess weight of your body will be on your legs and this may cause joint damage and bone weakness. Try to control your weight for the sake of your bones and heart also.

Way too much fats

8. Stress

Yes, stress can also somehow make your bones and joints weak. Being always stressed-out will not only weaken your immunity but will indirectly harm your bones also. When you are stressed there is impaired absorption of calcium from gastro-intestinal track to the blood, which makes the bone weak. Have Both Calcium And Vitamin D Together If you are only having calcium supplement

Stress control is important
