A list of healthy foods for strong bones and joints.
Nowadays many people suffer with poor bone
health as we tend to eat too many junk foods and refined carbohydrates.
Poor bone health can lead to conditions such
as osteoporosis and rickets, and can increase the risk of bones breaking.
Eating sugary foods and refined grains blocks
nutrients like minerals from being absorbed into the bones and joints.
In today's video we will share with you a
list of the top 16 foods for strong bones and joints.
These will help the body in improve bone density
by putting the right nutrients into the body.
1. Collard Greens Leafy green vegetables are some of the best
sources of calcium. This mineral strengthens the bones and hardens their framework. The
calcium found in vegetables is more easily absorbed than those found in supplements.
2. Bone Broth
Bone broth is by far one of the best things you can consume for strong bones and joints.
This is made from boiled bones and is rich in collagen and calcium. Collagen is used
to build bone and joint tissue, then calcium strengthens it.
3. Irish Sea Moss
This is a red seaweed super food that is rich in trace minerals like magnesium and calcium
phosphate. It helps to strengthen the connective tissues in the joints and increase bone density.
4. Bladderwrack
Bladderwrack is a type of brown algae which is often consumed with Irish Sea Moss. The
combination of these two algae is very helpful in keeping the bones and joints strong in
old age. As the body ages, the bones can lose minerals so this helps to keep them high.
5. Gelatin
Scientific studies show that eating gelatin every single day can reduce the risk of arthritis,
breaks and joint pain. You can eat this in delicious jellies and it can be used in many
delicious recipes.
6. Goose Liver Also known as 'Foie Gras', goose liver is
one of the best sources of Vitamin K2. This vitamin takes calcium out of the arteries
and soft tissues and puts it into the bones where it belongs.
7. Eggs
Eating pasture raised eggs supplies the body with proteins and fats that can help in building
collagen and bone tissue. The yellow yolks are rich in vitamin D which helps the bones
to absorb minerals.
8. Moringa Also known as "drumstick tree" moringa is
a tree which is often used to boost health. You can purchase powdered moringa leaves and
add to delicious recipes. It is a wonderful source of calcium and magnesium for strengthening
the bones.
9. Cheese If you are trying to protect your bones with
age, or have osteoporosis then consider eating cheese often. Grass fed cow cheese is the
best quality and is rich in protein, phosphorus and vitamin K2. All of these nutrients are
vital for bone heatlh.
10. Almonds Eating a small handful of nuts each day can
improve the health of the body rapidly. Almonds are another great source of phosphorus which
works with calcium to build stronger bones. Remember that bones are living tissue, so
eating healthy foods nourishes them throughout life.
11. Apple Cider Vinegar
If you suffer with indigestion or burning in the chest then you are likely to have low
stomach acid. Apple cider vinegar strengthens the stomach and allows it to absorb more nutrients
and minerals. Drink a tablespoon in a glass of water before a healthy salad, to help re-mineralise
your bones.
12. Cherries Studies show that cherry's and dark cherry
juice can reduce the risk of bone loss with age. Cherries help to reduce pain in the joints
if you suffer with arthritis and can help the bones to grow stronger with age.
13. Salmon
Oily fish like wild caught salmon are rich in bone-boosting nutrients. They are a wonderful
source of Vitamin D which helps your body to put calcium into the bones. It is also
high in omega 3 which contains DHA for excellent bone and joint health.
14. Sauerkraut
This is a form of fermented cabbage which improves digestive health to absorb more minerals.
Cabbage is yet another leafy green vegetable which is rich in bone boosting nutrients and
can strengthen connective tissues in the joints.
15. Okra We highly recommend eating foods which are
high in Vitamin K like okra. This works alongside vitamin D to put calcium and other minerals
into the bone tissue. Eating okra, swiss chard, arugula and spinach can help to prevent fractures
and strengthen bone tissue.
16. Mineral Water Drinking a good quality mineral water each
day can improve the entire function of the human body. We highly recommend drinking a
volcanic sourced water as these tend to have the most trace minerals for optimal joint
and bone health.
As you can see there are many foods that you can eat for strong bones and joints.
The foods mentioned today also provide raw
materials for excellent teeth, nails and other tissues in the body.
If you suffer with osteoporosis or have bone
related problems, be sure to get the apple cider vinegar into your diet.
You can get this in capsule form if you do
not like the taste. It is vital for strengthening the stomach and absorbing more minerals.
You may also take a supplement of Vitamin
D3 and K2. These work together to unblock arteries of calcium and put it into the bones
where it belongs.
Eat gelatin and leafy greens as often as possible to maximise the strength of your joints, connective
tissues, ligaments, tendons and bones.
