What you drink on a day-to-day basis can play a big part not only in your nutrition but also in your bone health. Three drinks that can affect your bone health are alcohol, soft drinks, and sports drinks. Excessive alcohol increases how much calcium is eliminated in your urine and disturbs vitamin D production, both important nutrients for strong bones. The phosphoric acid in soft drinks may interfere with calcium absorption in your bones and drinking sports drinks occasionally is okay, but it can become an issue when you drink them regularly because they are packed with sodium.
