7 steps to naturally health bones
1. Maintain healthy levels of pharmaceutical grade omega-3 fish oil through supplementation. We have ample supplies of omega-6 in our diets and are all omega-3 deficient
2. Eat a healthy diet of fresh organic vegetables, especially onions and garlic as they appear to slow bone loss, fruit, legumes, lentils, seeds, nuts, lamb, fish, poultry and eggs and supplement according to your needs established by a recongnised nutritionally trained health practitioner
3. Green vegetables such as broccoli, kale, beans, spinach and beet tops are particularly beneficial
4. Consider supplementing with vitamin K2 if you are not getting enough from food alone. Vitamin K serves as the biological "glue" that helps plug the calcium into the bone matrix
5. Get enough vitamin D, ideally from good amounts of sun exposure. Vitamin D builds your bone density by helping your body absorb calcium
6. Increase your Vit C supplementation to a minimum of 1 – 2 g per day, preferably in the form of Ester C
7. Exercise. Studies show that exercise is as important to your bone as eating a calcium-rich diet
