Calcium is crucial for bone strength. Inadequate intake causes gradual bone thinning. Eat dairy, leafy greens, and calcium-fortified foods daily.
Vitamin D Deficiency
Vitamin D is vital for calcium absorption. Lack of sunlight or poor diet causes deficiency. Use supplements or get sun exposure.
Sedentary Lifestyle
Lack of physical activity weakens bones. Daily weight-bearing exercises like walking, lifting, or dancing help build and maintain bone density.
Aging
As we age, bone density naturally declines. Post-menopausal women face higher risk due to hormonal changes and slower bone regeneration.
Hormonal Imbalance
Low estrogen or testosterone levels can weaken bones. Thyroid disorders also impact bone health. Regular check-ups help catch issues early.
Poor Nutrition
Diets high in processed foods, sugar, or caffeine can weaken bones. Opt for nutrient-rich meals with protein, vitamins, and healthy fats.
Smoking & Alcohol
Smoking lowers calcium absorption, while excess alcohol disrupts vitamin D levels. Together, they speed up bone loss and weaken your skeleton.
Conditions like osteoporosis, arthritis, and chronic illnesses can weaken bones. Certain medications may worsen it. Consult your doctor for proper management.
