  Top Calcium Consuming Essences to Avoid 

  • There are so many calcium draining foods, when we take those foods in excess. Essences like alcohol, salt, coffee and other soft drinks are calcium consuming. Don’t take alcohol in excess because it slow down calcium absorption and unbalance body calcium. Take alcohol in small quantity is not harmful for our body.
  • Other soft drinks including sodas are also drain calcium from bones. Instead soft drinks we should use calcium fortified orange juice and foods. Eating too much salt is harmful for our bones. Take salt in excess lose calcium and increases the chance of bones breakdown. Salt ads taste to food, so we add it in extra quantity. We can try other spices for food taste and take less salt. 
  • Coffee is another source of draining calcium if we drink it in excess. Two coffee in a day is sufficient but more than it is harmful and drain calcium. This indirectly affected our bones.
