Stick With Bone Healthy Nutrients And Avoid Bone Robbers
Did you know that despite the importance of getting calcium in your diet for healthy bones, it also takes more than just calcium to build strong bones? In fact several key nutrients, which are found mostly in fruits and vegetables, also make an important contribution to bone health.
Studies have shown that women who consistently consume high amounts of zinc, magnesium, potassium, fiber, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin K, boron, and manganese have greater bone density in middle age than women who report low intake of these nutrients.
Each of these vitamins and minerals along with foods they are found naturally in are shown below:
Vitamin/Mineral : Found Naturally In…
Zinc : Shellfish, Nuts, Liver, Egg Yolks, Milk, Whole Grain Cereals
Magnesium : Green Vegetables, Soybeans, Figs, Corn,
Apples, Almonds
Potassium : Green Leafy Vegetables, Oranges, Whole Grains, Sunflower Seeds, Nuts, Meats, Potatoes, Bananas
Fiber :Whole Grains, Figs, Apples, Potatoes
Vitamin C : Citrus Fruits/Juices, Tomatoes, Green Peppers, Strawberries
Vitamin D : Eggs, Sunshine (reacts with skin to form Vitamin D internally),Vitamin D Enriched Milk
Vitamin K : Green Leafy Vegetables, Cabbage, Cauliflower Boron Raisins, Peanuts, Grapes
Manganese : Whole-Grain Cereals, Egg Yolks, Green Vegetables, Nuts, BeansBone “robbers”, or things you should avoid too much of, can include excessive salt, protein, and caffeine. These can weaken your bones as you grow older and make you more susceptible to broken bones from falls.
I would not presume to question your source here as it seems to be based on correct consumption of foodstuffs for its designed purpose.
However if I were to follow it then I would die of heart disease induced by the excessive consumption of shellfish, liver, offal, nuts, eggs, almonds, sunflower seeds, peanuts etc. causing increased cholesterol n blockage of arterial supply.
A balanced diet combined with excersize and calcium supplements goes a long way to increasing quality of life for women, guys have a tension n lifestyle problem that diet wont fix.
Life is a lottery, hold ya ticket, do everything correctly, eat a balanced diet n get run down by a MAC Truck? who cares what the driver ate. ? 😀
It all helps but there are too many variables.:(my policy is that you only live once so why bother dieting!!! lol…..eat all the crap you can get…….but im sort of contradicting myself because you only live once, so why waste the life you get!! hmmmmm decisions…..i think i’ll continue with the rapid eating i believe!! where are my chips ?
Rusted, I agree totally!!! I know we are all gonna die someday, of something, and I am in no hurry to rush the process along, but food is soooooooooooooo good! I can not find it in my heart to do without that juicy cheeseburger, or fries occasionally! I dont smoke, and I dont do drugs, so I figure I am doing about all I can to prolong life.
As I see the quickly approaching birthday on the horizion, I think what the hay, I have a man that loves me just the way I am, wider and wider, 🙂 I am also too dang old to care. so,,,, bring on the food. Where is that coconut cake??? yummmmmmmmmmmQuote:quote:Originally posted by Philmy policy is that you only live once so why bother dieting!!! lol…..eat all the crap you can get…….but im sort of contradicting myself because you only live once, so why waste the life you get!! hmmmmm decisions…..i think i’ll continue with the rapid eating i believe!! where are my chips ?
Yeah i agree…but Hindus believe that one person has got 7 lives…the body dies but the soul goes on and on and on…but i’m not a hindu so i don’t believe that….

Ohhh you mean these crumbs under my butt? Sorry my butt got hungry.
C’mon Phil! Low-Fat Chips. You’re eating crap but at the same time – eating it (sorta) healthily!
Or wait how ’bout this… label every vegetable n’ fruit in your kitchen with a big name tag reading Hello. My name is crap. So early in the morning as the lion awakens from his slumber (and isn’t fully aware of what is going on and what this clear tasteless substance that keeps going into his lungs are…) you’ll see the word crap n’ automatically think eat.Does anyone else think I need to get off the Sunny D?
LOL,, you definately need off the sunny d … you know, my youngest child loved that stuff, when he was a babe,,, and drank it all the time. He got to where that was all he would drink, and he started not eating much either. just drinking sunny d, all the time. I had to stop him from drinking it, so he would eat again. Maybe thats why he only weighed 36 lbs till he was 7 years old…..
hey, sounds like a diet plan to me,,,, hmmmmmSunny D is terrible – in a bottle of around 300 millilitres, theres more sugar than there is in a 2 litre bottle of coca cola!! i used to drink it everyday until i found that out!! maybe thats why it tastes soooo good!!
Quote:quote: Sunny D is terrible – in a bottle of around 300 millilitres, theres more sugar than there is in a 2 litre bottle of coca cola!Hey! it was 2litre coke that gave me a big butt ( buttus magnificus), I progressed to fries that gave me [buttus giganticus], If I got into sunnyD then its [buttus gargantua] n a carpenter to widen all the doors? Man! that stuff should be listed as a poison. 😀 Whats yr life expectancy consuming SunnyD? 45?:eek:
Poached Jedi is more healthy;)haha….i believe a more accurate estimation would be around….hmm let me see…….20, if you follow a healthy routine other than that……im glad i got out of that habit before i became addicted!! imagine what would have happened!!!
LOL,,, Rustedtight, you completely crack me up….that is so funny. Start listening to the song I like big butts, and make everyone around you listen, till they realize they love big butts!!! 😀
Well, let me tell you, i have drank diet coke, forever, nothing but that, and the butt continued to grow, so I started all water, and the butt grew…. 🙂 I finally gave up, and said pass the fries please. 🙂Quote:quote:Sunny D is terrible – in a bottle of around 300 millilitres, theres more sugar than there is in a 2 litre bottle of coca cola!! i used to drink it everyday until i found that out!! maybe thats why it tastes soooo good!!Shyeah I know. You can taste it right off hand at first. It’s so sweet. Exactly. Anna on a lot of sugar isn’t a good thing… she makes spontaneous screams of joy and refers to herself as a third person.
*gets up n’ realizes that the butt is stuck in the chair*
Dammit… Rusty is this a symptom of buttus giganticus or buttus gargantua?
