Ways to promote good bone health
🦴Get enough protein: it is a crucial component of bone health, collagen is the main protein that provides flexibility to bones.
🦴Moderate amounts of caffeine: it may decrease absorption of calcium
🦴Monitor calcium intake: monitor calcium intake from foods, fortified foods and supplements to ensure you are getting enough or not too much
🦴Limit alcohol: alcohol prevents absorption of nutrients and increases excretion
🦴Cut soda: phosphoric acid in high concentrated doses is thought to leech calcium out of bones
🦴Get enough saturated fat: stick with the natural unprocessed versions like grass fed dairy and coconut 🥥 oil
🦴Strength train: weight bearing exercise is the most important to promote bone health. Walking, jogging and dancing are also considered weight-bearing activities.
