(NC)-For reasons still unclear, weight loss can lead to bone loss, which can lead to osteoporosis in later life. What to do if you must lose weight? Some recent studies show that this bone loss can be reduced with high calcium intakes, so make sure your diet incorporates enough calcium-rich foods. Three servings of milk products daily help meet the calcium needs of most adults. Not only that, a high calcium intake helps you achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Remember that to be healthy, a weight loss diet also needs to be balanced and not too calorie-restricted. And it should include regular physical activity.
