			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">When you take into account that half of American women over age 50 may suffer a fracture due to Osteoporosis and that one in five people with Osteoporosis are male, you can see why it is important for both sexes to protect their bones.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Considering that there are many serious side effects to the medications on the market, it is heartening to know that we can try to keep our bones from thinning with natural nutrition, especially with fruits and vegetables.</p>
<p><span id="more-16"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The mineral that makes up a large part of our bones is calcium, which, since it is not produced naturally by the body, must be consumed through foods and beverages rich in calcium and also rich in magnesium, potassium, vitamin K, vitamin C, and protein.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We all know that milk and dairy products are significant, but other excellent sources are soybeans, kidney beans, green beans, almonds, brazil nuts, tofu, chickpeas, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, kale, collards, strawberries, oranges, bananas, lemons, cantaloupe, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, prunes, raisins, liver. as well as calcium-fortified products like orange juice, granola bars, cereal, etc.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Vitamin D it is also important to help your body absorb the calcium, and that can be accomplished with s few as 10 to 15 minutes of direct sunlight three times a week, drinking milk, eating fish such as salmon and sardines with bones, or taking a daily supplement to make up for what you don&#8217;t eat.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Juicing vegetables, fruits and herbs is also a way to get the nutrients into your body, with vegetables being high in vitamin K which cements calcium into your bones.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So you can see that there is a wide variety of foods that you can eat to promote your bone density and strength.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There&#8217;s no point in worrying about the risk of bone fractures as you age. Adding stress to your life only worsens the situation. Just do something about it &#8212; it&#8217;s never too late!</p>
