4. Avoid smoking
Many studies have shown that smoking can minimize bone mass. In fact, Ryan even says that smokers have worse bone quality than those who don’t. Plus, their bones are more prone to fractures. So, if you’re a smoker, you should definitely consider quitting.
It’s not just about your bone health; it’s about your overall health. Smoking can actually diminish your risk of developing certain types of cancers such as larynx, mouth, throat, esophagus, and pancreatic cancers.
Talk to your doctor ASAP about possible ways to quit smoking.
