Who is Most at Risk?
⚠️ Postmenopausal women – They are already at risk of osteoporosis, and soda consumption can speed up bone loss.
⚠️ Teenagers – During growth years, strong bones need calcium, but soda consumption often replaces healthier drinks.
⚠️ Older adults – As bone density naturally declines with age, sodas can make the problem worse.
How to Protect Your Bones
Reduce or eliminate soda consumption
Increase calcium and vitamin D intake (milk, cheese, leafy greens)
Drink more water, herbal teas, or calcium-fortified juices
Exercise regularly (especially weight-bearing exercises like walking or strength training)
