Drinking coffee in moderation will not lead to osteoporosis.

The netizen "the penguin with meatball head" asked for money.

I like coffee very much. I drink at least one cup a day, and sometimes two cups a day. I heard that drinking coffee is good for diuresis. If you drink it every day, it will lead to osteoporosis for a long time. Is this the case? I would like to ask what I need to pay attention to in my diet.

The reporter consulted Yan Shigui, an orthopedic expert from the second Zhejiang Medical Hospital, and Zhang Weifeng, a senior public dietitian and dietitian professional qualification training teacher at Guanglian College, and their views were basically the same.

As long as you do not drink too much coffee, generally speaking, it will not have much effect on bone mineral density, because the incidence of osteoporosis is related to individual factors, eating habits, living habits and other factors; however, for the elderly and people with insufficient bone mineral density, it is recommended to drink less or not to drink coffee.

As a matter of fact, there are some arguments in the medical profession on this issue. In foreign countries, a large number of clinical studies have been done on the relationship between coffee drinking and bone mineral density, but the conclusions are not uniform. The caffeine in coffee does have a diuretic effect, which increases the excretion of calcium in the urine and promotes the secretion of calcium in the small intestine, which is proportional to the intake of caffeine. However, if it is only a small cup a day, while the diet is more reasonable, the nutritional status is better, pay attention to other foods to supplement calcium, sun and exercise are enough, then it can be considered that the impact on bone mineral density is not significant. But if you drink three or four cups of coffee a day, it may have an effect on bone mineral density.

If the reader is worried that his coffee habit will affect his bone mineral density, he can eat more dairy products, beans or calcium tablets in his daily life, bask in the sun and do the right amount of strength exercise, which can help to increase his bone mineral density.
