Lifestyle
Eating foods that have a lot of salt (sodium) causes your body to lose calcium and can lead to bone loss. Try to limit the amount of processed foods, canned foods and salt added to the foods you eat each day.
“Salt is known to cause excessive calcium excretion through the kidneys,” says Felicia Cosman, MD, an endocrinologist, professor of clinical medicine at Columbia University in New York, and spokeswoman for the National Osteoporosis Foundation.
