BAD TO THE BONES

In response to rising concerns, a lot of air time is spent promoting supplements to build strong and healthy bones. However, it may be more beneficial to pursue exercise and a bone healthy diet while avoiding things that contribute to bone loss:

GOOD FOR BONES:

  • Dark, leafy green vegetables
  • Nuts, seeds
  • Sunshine
  • Weight-bearing exercise
  • Probiotics

BAD FOR BONES:

  • Acidic foods (meat, dairy)
  • Alcohol
  • Antacids
  • Caffeine
  • Refines foods
  • Soft drinks
  • Sugar

As bone tissue dissolves and rebuilds over a lifetime, it is important to begin early and may not be too late to keep and build strong healthy bones.

  1. I agree with your point that is better to live a healthy lifestyle than to rely on supplements. The points that you shared on the things which can be bad for your bones are good. Caffeine is not entirely bad; it becomes bad only when taken in excess.

  2. Oh heck, sunlight can be good for bones also? Wow, I would definitely sun bath. It’s the cheapest source of calcium.
