10 Foods to Prevent Osteoporosis

DateThursday, July 30, 2009 at 7:48AM | Comment3 Comments |

Changing your diet can be an effective, gentle, inexpensive - and even delicious - way to prevent, relieve or even reverse a wide variety of conditions. If you are at risk for or have been diagnosed with osteoporosis, consider adding these calcium-rich foods to your diet:

  1. Low-fat or non-fat dairy products
  2. Canned sardines and canned salmon
  3. Dark green vegetables such as broccoli, collard greens and bok choy
  4. Tofu
  5. Calcium-fortified juices and carrageenan free soy milk
  6. Black-eyed peas
  7. Blackstrap molasses
  8. Poppy seeds and sesame seeds
  9. Almonds
  10. Figs

Here are some great calcium-rich tofu recipes to integrate into your dinner rotation!

Not too long ago the news was filled with warnings about Fosamax, Alendronate etc. and people who had been taking them long term being at more risk of fractures. What is the latest on that? In your opinion Is it safe to keep taking these drugs?
