Stop Eating THIS to Reverse Bone Loss

Osteoporosis and bone loss are common problems that affect over half of adults over 50. Vitamin D, calcium and exercise are all common recommendations, but still most people lose 15% of their bone mass every ten years. The problem is that most of the calcium we ingest never has a chance to make it into our bones!
Learn how to prevent bone loss and osteoporosis with one simple change to your diet. This one change is enough to prevent your body from losing calcium and bone and instead start putting calcium where it belongs - into building stronger healthier bones every year.
There's a single ingredient in most foods that causes this problem, and I'll explain what it is, why it's important, and how you can avoid it easily.

I have spend most of my adult life avoiding salt. I do not have any blood pressure problem, but my parents especially my mom has suffered from hypertension for many years. Neither I was a heavy meat eater, actually i was eating more fruits. Nor was I addicted to refined sugars and sugary drinks. Still my bones are doing poorly at 68 years old. Two years ago I was dx with osteoporosis and pre diabetes. Diabetes runs in my family heavily, so I was always aware and trying to avoid it by doing a moderate diet approach. Low sodium, low fat, you name it. I am no longer pre diabetic by eating a keto and IF, but still osteoporotic. My point is that a life of low sodium and almost no meat has not prevented me from having osteoporosis. I know we are different in the way we function and process foods and our genes can have a good percentage of control in our health also. I am no saying you are not right, but your approach to bone health does not work for everybody..I am exercising and doing the supplementation because I do not want the medications. I know how they work; I am a nurse. I never have had a fracture, and I am doing my best to prevent it.

[@patriciarivera9346]

I am right there with you, so similar. Little salt, no processed, lots of vegies and fruit. Insulin resistance and osteopenia. ?????? I'm chunky but I do exercise. So it's not the salt. Just wasting my time here.

Are getting sunshine ? What is you magnesium to calcium ratio? Are you drinking milk? Milk leaches calcium from the bones. How is you gut bacteria.? How is your vit.k.? How much raw fruits and vegetables do you eat? Are you taking a calcium supplemen? That can throw magnesium, calcium ratio way out of wack. We need at least double the amount of magnesium as calcium to reverse osteoporosis. We need mulic acid to metabolize magnesium. Taking supplements often throw these balances totally out of wack. Eat a wide Variety of whole plant foods and avoid animal protein. Especially dairy and red meat.

salt is needed in your body to produce stomach acid PH level of 1 as well as to produce a electrolysis... electrolytes are salt ions dissolved in a fluid that enables the fluid to conduct electricity. There are several electrolytes present in the human body, but the four we're most interested in, particularly in regard to performance, are sodium, magnesium, potassium, and calcium.

[@crystalyau1658]

Dr Dave Clayton, I’m confused by your reference to “salt” intake. Early in the video you said NaCl metabolism creates an acidic environment. My question for you is whether you mean the sodium in the salt or the chloride in the salt. In chemistry we are taught NaCl is a neutral salt. In the body does the chloride somehow make our digestive system acidic?? Only much later in your video you started mentioning effect of sodium alone and no longer mention the chloride. Is it because you were really targeting the sodium in salt and not the chloride? What if we use potassium chloride instead of sodium chloride? In a link you provided there was a study that mentioned NaCl excretion rate correlated to certain unfavorable results. Correlation does not mean necessarily a causal factor. The study doesn’t mean to imply both sodium AND chloride were the causes. I wish people would be more careful in using the word “salt” if they meant only the sodium.

Tea was not introduced recently in human diet, just in the Western diet. In China (and probably India) it's been around for at least 4,000 years. This is also about the time people began to settle down and produce wheat and other agri-cultures. Bread is also acidic by the way - why wasn't it included in the list of acidic foods (it's much more ubiquitous than sodas for instance). Also, sugar is waaaay more acidic than anything discussed, and certainly way worse than salt, yet no mention.

I have to winder if I'm reading something wrong. My last blood test and urinalysis shows a Ph of 5,5.. Obviously I'm reading the wrong number because it says I'm in the normal range of 5.0 - 8.0. I'll have to ask y doctor about that.

I like this doctor. He is calm, relaxed, sincere. He does not need to convince us, to speak loud etc... He does not need to promote himself. Yes. We do need some good salt, but not too much. Salt create palpitation and high blood pressure also. Now I know why I do not feel well although I eat healthy and take lot of supplements: acidic food! I do not drink enough water and I do not eat vegetables at all! Now I know how to feel better! Yeah! Thank you Doctor. I also learned that acidic blood creates cancer.

You said... I don't eat vegetables at all! But i eat healthy???? That is the stupidest oxymoron i have ever heard. YOU CAN'T EAT HEALTHY WITHOUT VEGETABLES. Everybody with a brain knows that!!!!!!!

[@ThuLe-eh1xe]

@@herbbowler2461 i mean I do not eat junk food or processed food. I eat little vegetables. I need to eat more.

[@herbbowler2461]

@@ThuLe-eh1xe OK. I eat almost no animal protein and no refined foods. Only whole foods and i avoid chemicals as much as possible. That's how i cured my cancer and returned to great health 43 years ago.

I have high blood pressure controlled by medication. I've pretty much cut salt out of my diet. Now my labs show my sodium is way too low. Suggestions?

[@oleksandrdanylov6076]

high blood pressure could be a sign of dehydration. I eat raw vegan foods and still need at least 3 liters of water daily.

[@sl4983]

What about Redmond's salt? Himalayan?

That stuff in everything!! Almost killed me. They hide it and sugar.

I eat a clean Ketogenic diet with healthy fats, lots of vegetables and healthy meats. I make sure to supplement my sodium, potassium, and magnesium and electrolytes daily due to the increased water loss. My question is, how do I manage those levels for the Keto diet, and yet prevent bone loss with my recent osteopenia diagnosis? I want to get adequate sodium, but not so much that I'm compromising my pH and causing additional bone loss. Would there be different advise for someone like me? Would I change my pH with other foods instead?

Try reading dr. Anna Cabeca’s “keto green 16” - keto recipes with alkalinizing properties. It’s a very keto clean approach with some very alkalinizing fruit inclusions. I hope it helps. It’s also meant for hormonal rebalancing for women through menopause.

@@gloriagiorgi1026 Thank you so much for the advice. I will check it out!

QUIT KETO! Carbs are essential!

[@herbbowler2461]

@@drdaveclayton It's salt and people along with animals in the wild used salt licks whether or not they were eating meat. There are mineral salt licks all over in wild country. So early humans definitely ate salt whenever available.

[@herbbowler2461]

First and formost. Don't do keto. Read about ketoacidosis. This is something those misinformed keto pushers don't tell you about. They don't know. Because they have never studied nutrition! Plus the effects of low blood glucose. If you want to learn about health. Ignore anyone selling a product or pushing an unproven fad.

[@richricogranada9647]

Is only salt, or all salts, eg, sea salt, real salt, Himalayan?

[@truthseeker4869]

Thanks Dr! Do you eat red meat? Do you think vegetarian is a better diet with osteoporosis/

[@joannfwatson6427]

What about brushing your teeth with baking soda?? Is that bad??

[@Handmaidenofyeshua]

Yes, yes, some doctors are talking about salt on Utube!!! Many videos of doctors encouraging to add salt to water being hydrated with daily.

It is not a "Yuge" problem, it is a "Huge" problem That said, the information was interesting but I am extremely confused to learn that fruits are alkaline. I mean, fruit is intensely acidic is it not?
