Welcome to the Bone Coach Show dedicated to helping you understand all things related to diet,

lifestyle, bone health, and how you can live and thrive with low bone density and osteoporosis.

I'm your host, Kevin Ellis, certified health coach, health and wellness speaker, and above all else,

your bone coach. After being diagnosed with osteoporosis in my early 30s, I transform my health

through diet and lifestyle and now help my clients and community members do the same through my

online coaching practice, bonecoach.com. Look, there are no quick and easy cures for low bone

density. But the choices we make every single day can have a powerful impact on our bones,

our health, and our general well-being. I'll share the research, interview the experts, and help you figure out

how to get the conditions right in your body so you can better your bones through diet and

lifestyle. Short disclaimer, I'm not a medical doctor and this show should not be considered

medical advice. Always consult with your

health care team before making medical decisions and changes to your diet and lifestyle. With that being

said, let's get on with the show. I think that one of the most dangerous health habits nowadays

is people drinking and sipping lemon water all day long because they think it's healthy. Yes, just don't sip on it all day long.

You can use a straw, for example, right? So then you don't have the front teeth in contact.

Because one thing you'll notice, especially, you know, I notice even for myself, my two front teeth, the edges are starting to wear down.

And, you know, my diet consists of a lot of fiber.

So as I'm biting and incising into fiber, that enamel is wearing down.

So the more acidic our mouth is, the faster the enamel wears.

The good news is we have really good ways to also protect the enamel.

So besides the fact, you know, like don't try to sip on lemon water and limit your, you know, your exposure.

Also using calcium hydroxy appetite.
