5 surprising things making your bones brittle (slideshow)
Sensible strategy for stronger bones
One of the most important and natural ways to reduce your risk of osteoporosis and support long-term bone and overall health is to follow a healthy diet rich in essential vitamins and minerals. There are four must-have nutrients you should focus on…
Calcium-rich foods are especially important for healthy bones and teeth, as well as proper function of the heart, muscles and nerves. Your body cannot produce calcium on its own. It must be absorbed through calcium-rich foods such as dark-green leafy vegetables such as bok choy, chard, kale, broccoli, dandelion greens and cooked spinach, as well as sea vegetables such as kelp and nori.
Magnesium. Many people, particularly post-menopausal women, may be deficient in magnesium. In fact, lack of magnesium is often a greater health issue than lack of calcium. For this reason, it is important to fill your diet with magnesium-rich green vegetables such as lightly cooked spinach, raw cacao (chocolate), beans, peas, nuts, seeds, and whole, unrefined grains.
