00:00Welcome back sunbro. We hope you all in great health and great money.

00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.

00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about bone health mistakes you didn't know you were making.

00:15Want stronger bones? It's not just about drinking milk.

00:18Here are common habits that quietly weaken your bones and how to fix them.

00:221. Too much salt. More salt equal more calcium loss.

00:25Aim for under 2,300 mg of sodium daily. Watch breads, chips, cheese, and cold cuts.

00:322. Too much sitting. Too much screen time means less movement.

00:36Bones need weight-bearing activity like walking to stay strong.

00:393. Only biking. Biking boosts your heart, not your bones.

00:43Add weight-bearing activities like hiking, dancing, or strength training.

00:474. Not enough sun. Your body needs sunlight for vitamin D 10-15 minutes a few times a week helps.

00:53Fortified foods and supplements can fill the gap.

00:565. Too much alcohol. Alcohol blocks calcium absorption.

01:00Stick to one drink a day, women, two max men.

01:036. Colas and caffeine. Cola and excess caffeine may weaken bones.

01:07Plus, they often replace calcium-rich drinks.

01:107. Bran and milk combo. Wheat bran can block calcium in milk.

01:14If you take calcium pills, wait 2 hours after eating bran.

01:178. Smoking. Smoking slows bone growth and healing.

01:20Quitting helps, but recovery takes time.

01:239. Certain meds. Some meds, like prednisone or seizure drugs, weaken bones long-term.

01:28Talk to your doctor about bone protection.

01:3110. Being underweight. Low weight BMI under 18.5 raises fracture risk.

01:36Do weight-bearing exercise and check your calcium intake.

01:3911. Falling. Falls get riskier as you age.

01:42Use grab bars, non-slip mats, and clear clutter to stay safe.

01:46Small changes make a big difference.

01:48Keep your bones strong so they can keep you moving.
