What Food Can Do for Your Bones
When it comes to healing and keeping bones strong, Dr. O’Neill says food is key. Magnesium, vitamin D, and vitamin K2 are just as important as calcium when it comes to developing healthy bones. Together, these nutrients boost calcium absorption and channel calcium deposits to the areas of the body that need them most—the bones.
Bone-Healthy Foods Dairy Products: Frequently supplemented with vitamin D and a good source of calcium.
The vitamin K and calcium found in leafy greens are second to none.
Foods rich in calcium and magnesium, such as almonds and sesame seeds, as well as other nuts and seeds.
Vitamin D-rich fish: salmon, mackerel, and other fatty fish.
Natural Treatments
Among the herbs that Dr. O’Neill recommends for their ability to mend broken bones are:
Traditionally, comfrey, also known as “knitbone,” was applied topically to injured bones to hasten their recovery.
Horsetail: A great source of silica, a mineral necessary for new bone growth.
Nettle: Strong and dense bones benefit from nettle’s high calcium content.
Changes to One’s Way of Life
Bone density and healing may be greatly affected by lifestyle variables such as frequent, mild exercise like walking or yoga, and exposure to natural sunshine, which helps produce vitamin D. Because of their negative effects on bone health, Dr. O’Neill warns against smoking and heavy alcohol use.
