food to keep your bones strong

FOOD TO KEEP YOUR BONES STRONG A balanced diet rich in fresh, whole foods is the foundation for good bone health. Protein aids the production of collagen fibers that provide a framework for bones, and adequate protein intake is important for bone health. In fact, according to several large studies, older adults over age 80 with low protein intake had more rapid bone loss and a higher risk of fractures than those with sufficient protein. Eat: About 5 ounces of lean protein (skinless poultry, fish, beans, low-fat or fat- free-dairy foods, nuts and seeds) per day for women, 5 1/2 for men. (A serving of chicken or fish the size of a deck of cards is about 2 to 3 ounces.) Do not forget to add sleep into the mixture! Get a good night's sleep on a comfortable mattress from Celeste and feel relaxed for a better tomorrow.
