Herbs that prevent osteoporosis and strengthen the bones are:
- Stinging nettle leaf
- Horsetail herb
- Alfalfa herb
- Dandelion leaf
- Oat straw
Tip: Add black pepper to your food to enhance the absorption of nutrients.
These herbs help remineralize bones in osteoporosis and help heal bone fractures.
Any degeneration in the joints, hips, or vertebrae and, in general, all bone tissue benefit from these powerful herbs’ vitamins, minerals, and bioactive substances.
It is an excellent supportive therapy for osteoarthritis, frequent dental caries, and tooth enamel integrity.
These herbs are rich in minerals: calcium, magnesium, potassium, and silica, as well as trace elements, including boron.
Silica has been shown to be a cofactor of calcium absorption, increasing bone density.
Horsetail, which contains silica, has long been used for strengthening bones, hair, skin, and nails.
It also stimulates the maturation of osteoblasts.
Oatstraw and stinging nettle are also traditionally used for strengthening the bones, skin, and fingernails.
Contraindications: pregnancy lactation or autoimmune diseases like lupus.
Consult your physician before taking any product.
Consume foods rich in absorbable calcium, such as dark green leafy vegetables, cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts), carrots, sweet potatoes, nuts and seeds, fish, and dairy products.
The use of vegetable oils and excessive consumption of saturated fats, sodium, and phosphorus found in carbonated drinks are calcium antagonists.
To increase bone density:
– Lead an active life. Move at least 3 miles a day. Lift some weights every day or do weight resistance training 2-3 times a week, with a day off in between. Building muscle tells the bone to build bone mass so it can support the bulkier muscle.
– eat a varied diet rich in colorful vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes.
Stay away from processed foods – anything that has more than 4 ingredients or ingredients that you can;t pronounce.
No junk food! I refer to food that contains little to no fiber but is full of toxic fats from vegetable oils, refined salt and sugar,
lab-made chemicals for flavor (natural or artificial) preservatives, and dyes
Stay away from synthetic sugar substitutes. Eat raw honey, raw sugar, or blackstrap molasses, moderately
Include mineral-rich herbs like parsley, cilantro, dill, and seaweed in your diet
Cholesterol has an important role in good bone density & preventing osteoporosis.
Our body absorbs only about 25% of the cholesterol from food. The rest is produced by the liver.
Do not be afraid to eat eggs, seafood, and saturated fats in moderation.
