The 'thief' with a free bone density bone menggeroti unnoticed.Here, vitamin D and calcium plays an important role in maintaining bone density.
Diseases due to low bone density is osteoporosis and mostly affects women. There are three factors that cause osteoporosis, namely lack of exercise, eating the wrong and the lack of sun exposure.
Some of the things that makes the 'thief' bones in action taking bone density are:
1. Excess proteinConsumption of protein is essential for bone growth, but if the majority then it could even be bad. Excess protein derived from animal bone is more harmful than vegetable protein.

3. Excess vitamin AMilk is an important food that supplies the body with the necessary vitamin A and calcium is important for bone growth. But if excessive intake of vitamin A, it can actually cause a decrease in bone density.
Vitamin A contains retinol which will inhibit the absorption of vitamin D by the bone. Foods high in vitamin A is found in animal products like liver, egg yolks and dairy products.
To get the intake of vitamin A, vitamin A in the form of beta carotene, such as green leafy vegetables, carrots and sweet potatoes are more suitable for the body and helps in bone density.
