Eat yogurt and cheese. Not a milk
drinker? A cup of yogurt has at least as much calcium as an eight-ounce
cup of milk. And one ounce of Swiss cheese has nearly as much. Even if
you’re lactose intolerant, yogurt and hard cheeses are low in lactose.
-EAT SARDINES. All those little fish bones have just what you need to build bone mass in your own body.
-Go green. Calcium is plentiful in many dark, leafy vegetables such as waterleaf, lettuce, spinach, ewedu, etc.
-CALCIUM SUPPLEMENTS. Experts say too
much calcium supplements can lead to kidney stones and that you must
consult your doctor before you start taking it.
-Salmon and other types of fatty fish
offer an array of bone-boosting nutrients. They contain calcium as well
as vitamin D, which assist in calcium absorption. They’re also high in
omega-3 fatty acids.
-NUTS AND SEEDS can bolster bone health
in several ways. Walnuts are packed with omega-3 fatty acids. Peanuts
and almonds also contain potassium, which protects against the loss of
calcium in urine. Nuts also contain protein and other nutrients that
play a supportive role in building strong bones.
-WEIGHT BEARING EXERCISE. To get the
most out of your bone-boosting diet, you’ll want to do regular
weight-bearing exercise. This includes any activity that uses the weight
of your body or outside weights to stress the bones and muscles. The
result is that your body lays down more bone material, and your bones
become denser. Brisk walking, dancing, and tennis have all been shown to
benefit your bones.
