Getting enough calcium can reduce risks of osteoporosis
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
While exercise can reduce the speed of bone loss, you can also change your diet to include more calcium, decreasing your chances of osteoporosis and strengthening your bones.
It is never too late to build strong bones.
As you get older, the amount of minerals in your bones decreases.
If you lose too much calcium, you may develop osteoporosis.
You can take steps now to prevent osteoporosis and minimize your risk for bone fractures later on.
You need to eat plenty of calcium rich foods.
Experts agree that good nutrition can reduce the likelihood of osteoporosis.
At least three servings of low fat or fat free milk, cheese and yogurt are especially good sources of calcium.
Plus, leafy green vegetables like broccoli, kale and spinach are also good sources, as are calcium fortified cereals.
Improve your bone health by consuming calcium-rich foods coupled with adequate amounts of daily physical activity.
Ask your doctor or registered dietitian if you would benefit from a calcium supplement.
