The conclusions of these studies on the relationship between osteoporosis and nutrition are often not incorporated into the standard treatment for patients affected by osteoporosis or osteopenia (decreased bone density, it is not a disease but a harbinger of osteoporosis).

Osteoporosis

Indeed, many women diagnosed with osteoporosis or osteopenia as a prescription that does not receive medication (eg bisphosphonates, SERMs, strontium ranelate) to strengthen bones and prevent bone fractures, but rarely feeding tips against osteoporosis, physical activity or to the healthy lifestyle to adopt.

Note that osteoporosis often does not show any signs, but if a person is vault and sees its size down, this is a sign of osteoporosis.

Tips on food to take to treat or prevent osteoporosis, strengthening bones:

Think green leafy vegetables
Many green leafy vegetables are not only excellent sources of calcium, they also contain many other vitamins and minerals needed to support the absorption and utilization of calcium. Green leafy vegetables are rich in calcium and other nutrients include cabbage, kale, turnips, dandelion.

Try for example to prepare to slow cooker chicken soup with vegetables once or twice a week, taking care to use green leafy vegetables in this soup. Besides being good for preventing osteoporosis, this soup is also a good way to convince your kids to eat their vegetables more readily.

Drink less soda
Many sodas contain phosphoric acid, which can increase calcium excretion in urine. And almost all soft drinks lack calcium. This combination can cause problems for women at risk for osteoporosis.

The excess phosphorus promotes loss of calcium in the body where calcium intake is low. Drink a soda from time to time is possible, but the problem is that many people regularly consume soft drinks. To top it off, soas drinkers tend to avoid drinks high in calcium to strengthen bones (such as milk, yoghurt drinks, orange juice fortified with calcium and vitamin D).

To prevent osteoporosis, sip beverages following instead:

* 1 standard drink (25 cl) of orange juice without added sugar fortified with calcium and vitamin D
* A mixture of fortified orange juice and seltzer water or sparkling water without phosphoric acid,
* Fruit Milkshake: Combine 25 cl nonfat yogurt, a banana or an average 150 grams of fresh berries (or frozen), and 2 ice cubes in a blender,
* Chocolate milk or fat-free chocolate.

Make the broth
Another way to increase the amount of calcium in your diet is to make soup stocks from the bones and vegetables rich in calcium. The broth made from animal bones or shells fruis sea can be a very important source of calcium.

By adding a little vinegar to the broth, you can sell calcium from bones into the broth. Then when you eat the broth calcium, your bones will benefit. You can make a great broth (eg, a beef broth) at once and then put small portions in the freezer for use in the future.

When you cook during the week, you can keep leftover vegetables not used in your recipes (the top of the onions, the ends of green beans, hard parts of chard, etc.). Then put them in a crock pot to let simmer all day. You can also add in the crock pot the bones of any meat you have eaten recently. If you do not eat meat with bones of the week, then use chicken breasts instead.

When the broth is done, use it to prepare dishes such as soups, sauces, rice and quinoa. You can prepare a nutritious rice well with the soup which strengthens bones.
