Ask AI Mark discusses how to eat for stronger bones. Sardines, leafy greens, and seeds build bone. Vitamin D and omega-3 fats matter. Skip excess alcohol and caffeine, which dissolve bone.
We really focus on exercise and strength training, focus on vitamin D levels. We also do a lot with diet, right? Because you want to eliminate the bone dissolving things in your life, in your lifestyle, in your diet, and you want to add the bone building things. So, what are the bone dissolving things we want to help people get rid of? And, we talked about them a little.
Bit, but- yeah, well, excess amounts of protein and also if you have acidic urine, you can actually be more suscceptible to more or less peeing out your bones. So decreasing those things. Which is our processed diet will cause you to be more acidic.
Exactly.
And then the green leafy vegetables are very good. And then, you know, things like sardines, which are great because they're, they have natural, sardines are one of my favorite foods because guess what? They got great protein, they have great omega threes and they have great calcium and it's highly absorbable calcium. So if you want to actually help.
Your bones eat sardines. Yeah, herring, sardines, mackerel. That's what I remember for lunch. I'm having canned mackerel with the ones with the bones in them is even better. Exactly. That's how a lot of the populations who lived on islands would get their calcium. They'd eat the fish bones. Yeah. Yeah. So getting rid of things like alcohol, caffeine, excess salt, excess protein, too much sugar, obviously all the sodas, the junk food, the food additives, that's so important. And then adding in all the foods that are gonna build your bone, like the sardines or herring or mackerel, but also the greens. I mean, where do cows get their calcium from? Grass, right? So, you can actually get more calcium, more absorbable calcium from things like tahini, which is sesame seeds. Sesame seeds are probably the highest source. Chia seeds have more calcium per serving than milk and it's better absorbed, plus omega-3s and fiber. All the dark green leafy vegetables that you mentioned, the vitamin K is also in these green leafy vegetables. So, you omega-3 fats are really important, which you can get those from the sardines and the fatty fish. So, a lot of foods that are bone building foods.
