  • 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.

      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.

    When I studied Anthropology, I came across a research paper that explained that in China, before cow's dairy mild was used at all, there was practically no osteoperosis. Now that many use dairy milk now in China , Osteoporosis is on the rise. I am 76 and no sign of Osteoperosis and have tried to avoid cow's dairy mild products (some ice cream , cottage cheese, cream, once in awhile; hard to avoid) for about 25yrs now, but do use goat's milk cheese.

    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.

    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.

Acidic environment inside our body we call it in medicine interior milieu is causing inflammation,cancer,bone loss.The body has pathways to correct ph and keep it at normal ranges as possible.If not we die in alkalosis or acidosis.Acid base balance is very important subject in physiology in post graduate studies in medicine.The food especially natural food has enough salt for our bodies.Our requirement is 1.2 grams I.e 1200 milligrams only.The body work in micronutrients,all sugar in our blood is 3.5-4 grams,the microbiome make short chain fatty acids ,liver make sugar.Our body needs healthy life style variables like our ancestors as it is still working like them and there is a mismatch between environment and our bodies.

    This was extremely helpful info as I have been trying to do everything possible to overcome my severe osteoporosis with not much progress. Unfortunately, as you mentioned, salt is included in everything anymore.
    I would love to see another video from you comparing Himalayan Pink Salt to table salt or Sea Salt & which one is more healthy? Since I really don’t think very many people could go without any salt, what is minimum amount & would an iodine supplement be needed. I know everyone is different so average servings & type would be sufficient

    Hi. Dr.Dave,
    Very grateful for your concerning about sodium and alkaline diet for those who have osteoporosis.
    I just have a question.
    Is really vital to add calcium suplement?
    In the past I was told to take 1,200 mg per day, due to my osteoporosis condition, but, due to the risk of artery calcification, I stopped taking it. Instead I'm taking Vitamin K2 100 mcg, + magnesium 200mg and vitamin D3 5000IU. Besides my effort to have a healthy diet, including veggies, fruits & proteins (lean meat, chicken,pork,fish). Walking routine of 30 Mts.daily and some strength exercises. Let me tell you that I'm not taking the biphosfomates anymore, the risk for osteonecrosis of the jaw, really scared me.
    Thanks God I'm ok, eventhough I was under Propia injection for three years.
    I hope you read my request, to be honest most of the Doctors don't answer. Luckily, some of them just read the comments.
    Thanks in advance for your kindness.
    Regards,
    Dinora,

      Dexascan showed I had osteopenia: doctor prescribed Alendronate Sodium (which doesn't allow dead bone to stuff off; hence density increases but at what cost overall? God made skin/bone to sluff for a reason, right?) and recommended Calcium, which I did take that (but not for long). I, too, learned I had 50% Carotid. Upon 2nd Dexascan years later, one hip had become more dense. Doc said, "Keep doing what you're doing." Doing same thing as you, except for uhh....healthy diet and exercise. I'm sure I could completely reverse it if I'd exercise and eat well.

The word osteopenia just means pre-osteoporosis. But because they put the osteopenia on their charts, the doctors now start people on those drugs earlier than they need to. Until your scores say -2.0, for the T score, then you do not have osteoporosis.

My question is, how do I manage those levels for the Keto diet, and yet prevent bone loss with my recent osteopenia diagnosis?

But I will take the advice and try to reduced my NaCl intake regardless as it can only benefit.
