5 Steps to Build Strong Bones 

  

Bone health is a hot topic, and unfortunately there is a lot of confusion going on in this area.  So I am going to give you the top 5 steps to having strong bones.  This information will be VERY different from what your doctor told you.  Remember, doctors study drugs and disease.  Natural health practitioners study nutrition and prevention.  Big difference!  So before we even get to the 5 steps, here is where you start:  Forget everything you THOUGHT you knew about bone health!  Now with the confusion, lies and deception wiped clean from your mind, we can start to learn something.   

Step 1:  Never ever, ever take poor quality calcium supplements.  95% of calcium supplements are animal bones, rocks like limestone and coral.  I don't know about you, but picking up and gnawing on animal bones doesn't work for me, or make much sense.  Calcium supplements accomplish the following:  They do absolutely zero to build bone health, your body works overtime to excrete calcium through your urine, what it cannot excrete is deposited in your body which equals bone spurs, heel spurs, kidney stones, artery blockages, alzheimer's, hearing loss, cataracts, gallstones, arthritis, etc.   

IF you take a calcium supplements (yes I do have them, and sell them) it MUST be food based from an algae or green foods.  That is what your body can understand and use, not rocks.  The largest animals on the planets with the strongest bones eat grass all day! 

Step 2:   Avoid or minimize dairy products, excessive meat consumption, soda and sugar.  THIS is the cause of Osteoporosis.  Eating acid forming foods causes the body to pull calcium from the bones to normalize pH levels.  Do you have hip pain?  Your hips are your largest calcium deposit in your body.   

Step 3:  AVOID all bone drugs.  Studies prove they increase fracture risk.  They STOP your body from renewing and growing new bone, making it hard like cement.  When you fall, your bone SHATTERS into a bazillion pieces.  No thanks!  FYI, when Fosamax sales were poor, they invented a new screening test to tell the world they have weak bones, and invented a new word (osteopenia, a word that did not exist in 1990, look it up) to sell bone drugs.  It's a sad way to make a healthy person feel like they have a disease.  Ask your doctor questions. 

Step 4:   Exercise, move, exercise, weight bearing exercise, jump, rebound, run, jog, swim, bike, yoga, exercise, jog, climb a mountain, walk your dog, play volleyball, tennis, go sledding, P90X, stretch, build a fence, build a house, climb a tree, did I say exercise?  Ok, I think you get it.  Bone has zero reason to be strong if you don't give it one.   Read the column to your left on the amazing Cellerciser Rebounder.   

Step 5:  Nutrients.  To build strong bone you need the following:

-  Silica, from Horsetail or Bamboo.  This is the key building block for bones, joints, ligaments, hair, skin, nails, etc.

-  Magnesium

-  Essential Fatty Acids - I like Udo's 3-6-9, Coconut or a quality olive oil

-  Green Foods (A good greens powder blend is an easy way to get tons of nutrients in one shot) 

-  Water and Sunshine!  

Conclusion:  Most people are fooled into thinking they have a problem they really don't, just to sell drugs.  Even if you truly do have weak bones, no drug is going to build or restore bone health.  Focus on the above, and bone CAN and WILL regenerate.  It's how your body is designed to function!
