It is advisable to give up sugar and yeast bread, as they prevent the strengthening of bones. This was reported by traumatologist-orthopedist Rustam Efendiev.
— It is advisable to exclude such products as yeast bread and sugar from your diet as much as possible, — he noted.
The doctor recommends replacing sugar with dried fruits, honey, jam, and eating all this in small doses. Fruits and sweet vegetables are more beneficial.
Yeast bread can be replaced with sourdough bread.
Phytic acid, which is found in cereals, also interferes with the absorption of minerals. According to the doctor, it blocks digestive enzymes.
Why should you give up sugar for bone health? If you get carried away with it, it negatively affects the intestinal microflora, which interferes with the absorption of minerals.
You should also reduce the amount of caffeine, as it accelerates the excretion of minerals from the body in the urine, and, of course, alcohol. Alcohol leads to loss of fluid and salts and has a toxic effect on bone tissue.
Eat more vegetables, berries and greens, supplement your diet with vitamins and mineral complexes to maintain the body.
“Everything that appears in the season must be included in your diet,” the doctor said.
