Many people are concerned about protecting themselves against Osteoporosis and the danger of the bone fractures that it can cause. You can take supplements for calcium deficiency (the cause of the disease)​ to combat the effects of osteoporosis, and maybe slow down the progression of the disease,​ but there is no cure.

However, you can help prevent osteoporosis by avoiding foods that interfere with calcium absorption in the body. One of them is high levels of sodium.
