Xu Huiyu dietitian said that although orthopedic surgeons believe that the main cause of osteoporosis is too little exercise, do not like to bask in the sun, insufficient calcium absorption, and there is no direct evidence that caffeine causes osteoporosis, but it is undeniable that caffeine is still one of the risk factors for osteoporosis.

In particular, for women with low calcium intake, drinking more than two cups of ground coffee a day will worsen bone loss. Epidemiological data show that caffeine intake is related to the bone mineral density of women over 50 years old, so postmenopausal women should be more careful in drinking coffee. To avoid bone loosening, in addition to reducing caffeine intake, you can usually supplement more calcium and exercise.

If someone is not used to black coffee, you need to add some sugar and sprinkle it with cream to neutralize the bitterness of the coffee. Xu Huiyu suggests abandoning cream, because it not only increases calories, but also its "trans fat", which is a terrible cardiovascular threat, can also supplement calcium by adding low-fat milk instead.
