Osteoporosis & Nutrition

As we just celebrated World Osteoporosis Day, it only seems fitting to highlight what we can eat to prevent & manage osteoporosis 😋

What can we eat to help prevent osteoporosis?
✨Calcium & Vitamin D✨

Calcium 🥛
Calcium is essential for building & maintaining healthy bones throughout your life. It forms with other minerals to create crystals which give strength & structure to your bones!
If your body doesn’t get enough calcium from your diet, it will start leaching the calcium out of your bones causing them to become brittle 👎🏻
Calcium rich foods that you can include in your diet are diary based products like milk, cheese and yogurt, as well as nuts, sardines, tofu and dark leafy greens 🥬

Vitamin D ☀️
We need adequate amounts of Vitamin D as it helps us absorb calcium!
Our main source of Vitamin D is from the sun 🌞however, there are some foods which can provide us with Vitamin D like cod, trout, mushrooms, milk & eggs 👏🏻

Food is medicine, treat your body!🥛🥜🥚🐟
