Bones cycle through periods of growth and breakdown throughout the course of your life. By our mid-20’s bones begin to lose their ability to regrow and are more prone to breaking down.
What Leads To Osteoporosis?
Eating an acidic, inflammatory diet including caffeine, alcohol, soda, refined sugar, processed foods, a high-salt diet, a meat-based (high protein) diet, and a low vegetable diet can all contribute to bone thinning. Eating foods you are allergic to can also lead to bone loss because your gastrointestinal system will be inflamed and have increased permeability (more, larger molecules and pathogens can pass undigested into the blood stream) which in turn increases the acidity of the blood and draws alkaline nutrients out of the bone. Moreover, malabsorption can lead to nutrient deficiencies that can inhibit bone regrowth.
