1.
Increase water intake
To strengthen your bones and to nourish your bone marrow,
you can easily achieve this by increasing
the quantity of water in your body. Hence incorporating moist and oily foods
like milk and ghee (in moderate quantities) might do the trick for people with
osteoporosis.
2.
Go the herbal way
Yes, going the herbal way can help you improve your bone health by providing
nourishment to the bones and muscles. However, you should consult an Ayurveda
expert to know the right quantities depending upon your condition.
3. Load
up on Oestrogen-rich foods
Including plant-oestrogen is a good way to restore the
decreased hormone in women post-menopause. Oestrogen also plays a key role in
improving bone density. And therefore you should include soybean, lentils,
chickpeas and beans along with tofu, soy milk fortified with calcium, to deal
with osteoporosis.
4.
Snack on nuts and seeds
Yes, this is because omega-3 fatty acids increases the
mineral content of the bones and hence, helps
in maintaining healthy and strong bones. Hence, nuts and seeds that should
not be left out --include sesame seeds, walnuts and flaxseeds.

5.
Include potassium in diet
Not just calcium, it is important to increase the intake
of minerals that indirectly help in keeping the bones healthy. And one such
mineral is potassium, which protects against the loss of calcium in urine. So
make sure your diet contains peanuts and almonds too.
6.
Do not miss Vitamin D
Everyone knows that vitamin D is needed for absorption of
calcium from food. So include foods rich in vitamin D like eggs, salmon,
sardines, swordfish and some fish oils in the diet. Also, our body also gets
natural vitamin D from exposure to natural sunlight, and that is why the
ancient science of Ayurveda clearly mentions Suryanamaskar as one of the best
ways to strengthen bones and joints.
