Salt: Too much of salt in food causes loss of calcium through urine to release extra salt. As some of this calcium comes from the bones, it can lead to weak bones or osteoporosis in the long run. Some studies show that a reduction in salt intake from 10 to 5 gm/day would have the same effect on bone strength as an increase in calcium intake of 1000 mg/day.
