Salt and alcohol: Drinking alcohol reduces the amount of calcium in the body which causes bone weakness. Bones become weak due to excessive use of salt. Actually, salt contains sodium, which after going into the body removes calcium from the body through urine.

Tea and Coffee: Excessive consumption of tea and coffee also weakens the bones. Caffeine present in it is very harmful for bone health.

By eating this, the amount of sugar and oxalate increases in the body, due to which calcium is not absorbed in the body and bones start becoming weak.
