RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Start limiting the amount of caffeine you consume each day. Not only does it affect your central nervous system, but it draws calcium out of your bones. This is especially dangerous for women, because women are at a higher risk for osteoporosis (weakening of bones which leads to fractures) than men. Be sure to get 1,000mg of calcium every day from foods (low-cal cheese/yogurt, skim milk, collard greens, spinach) to counteract the caffeine.
