Foods and herbs that benefit and help to maintain strong bones

​Strong bones can be taken for granted when we are younger but it is important to realize what kinds of foods, nutrients and herbs we need in order to keep our spines healthy in our old age. Eating wisely and consuming the appropriate herbs can help your bones stay strong and prevent an array of bone-related ailments. 
 We’ve all grown up hearing that we have to drink milk to keep our bones strong and this is true. 

However, there are other ways of maintain healthy calcium intake through foods such as yogurt, tofu and cheese.

Cheddar cheese is supposed to be quite good for our bodies since only a small amount will be able to deliver a fraction of your required daily intake of calcium.

​Tofu is a great source of calcium that also has protein. 
Vitamin D is needed to help the bones repair and stay protected and also allows the body to absorb calcium better. Vitamin D comes in a few food sources such as omega-3 fatty acids found in salmon and other fatty fish like tuna and sardines and egg yolks.

​Another natural source of vitamin D is to spend some time in the sun. Various brands of cereal come in a fortified form also contain vitamin D. 
 
 Leafy green vegetables are excellent for keeping bones healthy since they have a unique mixture of calcium, iron, magnesium, protein, potassium and vitamins. The best vegetables for your bones are bok choy, collard greens, kale, parsley, mustard greens, arugula and watercress.

Other great vegetables for bones include zucchini, broccoli, carrots, butternut squash and cabbage. 
 
Other good sources of magnesium are soybeans, almonds and whole grains. Whole grains also contain fiber, vitamins and complex carbs. Choose whole grains such as barley, brown rice, rye, quinoa, whole wheat, oils and buckwheat. 
 
The Chinese have long been using herbs that can help maintain bone health and strengthen them as well. Red clover blossom is known to keep bones strong, especially in women who have reached menopause. They can be found in capsulated or tablet form. Astralgus root is a key ingredient in a healthy soup mixture that the Chinese take to keep bones healthy. It can typically be found in dried form and added to tea, hot water or spread lightly over food.
Bu gu zhi seed, or psoralea corylifolia, is often used to treat osteoporosis and other bone diseases when bones start to weaken.

The herb works well because it acts similarly to estrogen and causes the same results of stronger bones.

​Herbs that can be used in combination include roots called shou wu and dang gui.
