Coffee and Bones
People of today really takes coffee for the start of their day. Many of us really think that's a good thing and what's wrong about it, since it boosts our energy and keep us awake. Most of the time we never realize in other hand it has already affecting our life instead of giving us a bonus to our life. Coffee -> Bones, Coffee -> Bones ... yeah, I am talking about Coffee that affects our bones everyday if you do take coffee everyday. Still remember my previous post on my ridiculous result of my bone scanning ? I was at the border of osteoporosis, just imagine this at the age of 26. I have to admit that this is the effect of taking too much coffee. I was a heavy coffee-drinker, starting when I was at University.
Anyway, I went to my cousin's pharmacy and had my free bone scanning for another time during last month. Before it was my turn for the scanning, I was so nervous and worried that my reading will still be so negative. I was trying so hard to improve my bone stiffness - I quit drinking coffee and ends up drinking green tea, which is good and I started taking calcium tablet for my calcium supplementary.
...Tik Tok Tik Tok, its my turn
...start scanning...
...and result as below...

Yes, the result shows that I am back to normal! But my cousin told me that it's still not impressive as for the age of 26. You see the graph that separated with clear and dotted area ? Yeah, I was at the bottom of the dotted area last time. Now I am at the clear area~ the Z Score reads -0.0 ! Hurrayyy...
Anyway, I still need to continue to take my calcium until I reach the satisfactory level. The moral of the day is, do not take coffee every morning especially. It will wash away your calcium gradually. Try to replace it with green tea or something else. Don't take red tea(lipton, Tie Kwan Ing and so on) - it has the same effect as the coffee.
Alright, that's all folks.
