“Your bones are for life. Look after them, and they will carry you far.” – Susan Hampshire
Bone health is essential for overall well-being; your bones are literally the framework for this flesh suit you’re walking around in, correct? Many natural remedies can help build strong, resilient bones. Even more important is the foundation of your bone health: what you put in your mouth daily, every meal you eat.
We at HoneColony believe in organic living, which begins with the foods and supplements you eat and avoids bone-depleting substances like alcohol, caffeine, and processed foods, which can leach minerals from the bones.
Let’s take a look at some bone-fortifying vitamins and minerals.
Eat calcium-rich foods such as dark leafy greens (e.g., kale, collard greens, spinach), organic ideally-sprouted almonds, and sesame seeds.
Vitamin D: Essential for calcium absorption; get sunlight exposure and consume foods like mushrooms, and fatty fish.
Magnesium: Found in nuts, seeds, avocados, and whole grains; supports bone density. Most people need to consume more of this through diet alone.
Vitamin K2: Helps direct calcium to the bones instead of soft tissues. Found in natto, a traditional Japanese food made from fermented soybeans and probiotics that support bone and cardiovascular health.hard cheeses, and grass-fed butter.
Boron: A trace mineral that supports calcium and magnesium metabolism found in apples, pears, and prunes.
Collagen: Supports the protein matrix of bones. Bone broth or collagen supplements can help.
Herbal Remedies:
Honey: Raw honey is rich in minerals and has anti-inflammatory properties that may indirectly support bone health.
