HERBS AND REMEDIES FOR
OSTEOPOROSIS
Osteoporosis is when your bones lose density and
become brittle, making them more vulnerable to breaks when you fall.
This becomes more evident generally with age, especially after the
menopause.
Eating a varied and healthy diet through life, may well help minimalise
onset or its development.

MAGNESIUM
A diet rich in magnesium is vital for bone density. Eat whole
grains and brown rice. Magnesium is vital for bone density. To be sure that you are getting
enough, try taking capsules daily.
* Free from added salt, gluten and yeast.
30 tablets
CALCIUM
Calcium is needed for bone health, and this comes form dairy products,
oily fish, eggs, nuts, sunflower and sesame seeds, green leafy
vegetables. Older women should try drinking 4 glasses or organic milk
daily to guard against osteoporosis.
Apparently, organic milk contains 70% more omega-3 acids and higher
levels of vitamin A and E, than normal milk. It has 75% more
beta-carotene and twice as many antioxidants. Prefer cartons, to glass
bottles, as light can reduce vitamins.
NETTLE TEA
Nettle tea is rich in iron, calcium and silica.
A flavoursome infusion with the refreshing taste
of mint. The sweet taste of peppermint in this clean tasting infusion is
perfectly complemented by the sharper, peppery taste of nettle. Nettle
is great for cleansing and detox, while peppermint will aid digestion.
Perfect after a meal.

CUT DOWN ON COFFEE
Some studies show that more than three cups of coffee per day is
associated in older women with loss of bone density.
SUNSHINE
Try staying in the sun for 15 minutes each day as this produces
vitamin D in your body, which is necessary for calcium uptake.
