π¦΄β¨ Could Your Eating Schedule Affect Bone Health?
A new study highlighted by Healio Endocrinology shows that when you eat may be just as important as what you eat β especially when it comes to bone health.
Researchers found that two habits were linked to a higher risk of major osteoporotic fractures:
π½οΈ 1. Skipping breakfast
Regularly skipping your first meal of the day may interfere with metabolism, energy balance, and nutrient intake β all of which play a role in maintaining strong bones.
π 2. Eating late dinners
Late-night meals may disrupt hormonal rhythms and calcium regulation, potentially weakening bone strength over time.
βοΈ What this means for your bone health:
- Eating balanced meals at consistent times supports healthy calcium absorption.
- Morning meals help stabilize hormones, energy levels, and bone metabolism.
- Avoiding late dinners may support healthier sleep and better bone turnover.
π¦΄π Takeaway:
Healthy bones depend on timing, nutrition, and lifestyle habits β not just supplements. Simple daily choices can support long-term strength and reduce fracture risk.
