Studies have shown that certain lifestyle choices affect bone health, so here´s what the experts feel you should know.

*Quit smoking. Women who smoke typically have 15 to 30 percent LESS bone mass.

*Cut Out Colas. Some studies have shown a slight link between cola soft drinks and osteoporosis. Christiane Northrup, M.D., founder of the Women to Women Health Center in Yarmouth, Maine, and past president of the American Holistic Medical Association, urges women to avoid colas.

*Take Care With Caffeine. Caffeine is a diuretic, which means extra trips to the restroom and more of a loss of your body´s supply of calcium. You can reduce your risk of losing this calcium just by making sure you take extra calcium in supplement form.
