YOUR BONES AND YOUR FOOD
To take care of your bones, you have to move and expose yourself to sunlight. There's no mystery here.
Food also plays an active role in maintaining good bone health.
Here are the good foods for good bones!
Eat Fruits and Vegetables
Fruits and vegetables contain many minerals and potassium, thus limiting the loss of minerals from the bones.
And respect the acid-base balance: be careful with coffee and alcohol, which are acidifying.
Look for foods rich in Vitamin D
Exposing yourself to daylight and the sun helps promote the synthesis of vitamin D, which helps to fix calcium on the bones. But there are also foods rich in vitamin D such as cod liver oil, fatty fish, egg yolks, oysters, dairy products.
Antioxidants
Antioxidants promote the renewal of bone mass while providing calcium: spinach, cabbage, watercress, white beans, soybeans and all fruits.
*Eating fish from The Cold Seas*
Fatty, cold sea fish are rich in fat-soluble vitamin D and omega-3. Put salmon, mackerel, herring, sardines... on the menu several times a week.
Use Olive Oil
Thanks to its richness in oleic acid (omega-9), it strengthens bone density.
Consume Honey
It is rich in mineral salts, phosphorus, calcium and iron, honey improves the growth of children by helping the fixation of calcium and magnesium on the bones when combined with dairy products, for example. Its great diversity in vitamins facilitates the digestion of other foods.
Drink Green Tea
Like Japanese sencha tea, which fights against demineralization and acidity in the body.
