Weight-Bearing Exercise

To get the most out of your bone-boosting diet, you’ll want to do regular weight-bearing exercise. This includes any activity that uses the weight of your body or outside weights to stress the bones and muscles. The result is that your body lays down more bone material, and your bones become denser. Brisk walking, dancing, tennis, and yoga have all been shown to benefit your bones.

Goodness of Sunshine

Sunshine is  the best source of a nutrient that is found in surprisingly few foods. The body produces vitamin D in response to sunlight. Without vitamin D, our bodies cannot properly absorb calcium. Although milk is often fortified with vitamin D, one 8-ounce cup is usually not enough to maximize calcium absorption. Doctors recommend taking a vitamin D supplement if you live in an area where sun exposure is limited.

Hold the Salt

Salt is a major culprit in depriving the body of calcium. The more salt you eat, the more calcium gets carried away by urine. Sticking to a low-salt diet can help you keep more calcium to strengthen your bones.

Nuts and Seeds

Nuts and seeds can bolster bone health in several ways. Almonds, pistachios, and sunflower seeds are all high in calcium. Walnuts and flaxseeds are packed with omega-3 fatty acids. Peanuts and almonds contain potassium, which protects against the loss of calcium in urine. Nuts also contain protein and other nutrients that play a supportive role in building strong bones.

Goodness of Soy Foods -Calcium

Half a cup of tofu contains 258 milligrams of calcium, but calcium is not the only mineral that gives bones a leg up. New research suggests plant-based chemicals called isoflavones strengthen bone density as well. Isoflavones are plentiful in soy foods, such as tofu, and appear to have an estrogen-like effect on the body. This may make soy useful in warding off bone disease in postmenopausal women.
