Your diet can make a difference. We have all heard the importance of a maintaining a proper diet for our overall health, and particularly as it relates to weight management and contributing to a healthy heart. Eating foods that are good for you (and happen to be tasty and nourishing at the same time) can also affect your overall quality of life.
A proper diet is one of the essential pillars to a bone-friendly lifestyle. The primary difference between a good general nutrition program and one that is bone-friendly is that the latter emphasizes the importance of the major “bone builders “: calcium and Vitamin D. The keys to a successful bone-friendly nutrition program are as follows:
- Follow a good foundation nutrition program
- Ensure you are getting adequate quantities of calcium and Vitamin D
- Limit your intake of calcium stealing (or leaching) foods
