Not just milk: 4 foods for strong bones recommended by a traumatologist

Strengthening bones is a need not only for young children and the elderly, it is a basic need for all active young people: athletes, office workers, cashiers, loaders, and others. 

It seems to us that our bones are naturally strong and grow on their own, but this is a myth. Our bones accumulate calcium, which is needed for the structure of our body. If the body lacks calcium, it is taken from our bones, which weakens them, that is, they become fragile and vulnerable to damage even from ordinary everyday movements.

So in this article below, we have collected the top products on the advice of a traumatologist to strengthen the body’s bones and saturate them with calcium.

Dairy products

Surprisingly, dairy products come first, and this is not only milk, but also cottage cheese, sour cream, butter and other products based on it. Since childhood, our grandmother told us “drink more milk for healthy bones” and it’s true. One glass of milk a day doesn’t cost much, but it fills the body with a source of calcium and vitamin D for the whole day.

We have been taught since childhood that fish bones should not be eaten, but this is not about canned sardines. Thanks to sterilization and high temperatures during canning, the small bones become soft, completely digestible and suitable for consumption even by small children. They are easily absorbed by the body, serving as an excellent source of readily available calcium and phosphorus for bone health.

Leafy greens

Leafy green salad is very beneficial for maintaining bone health.

In the summer, lettuce, parsley, and watercress are everywhere. They not only serve as a green decoration for dishes, but also contain a huge amount of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin K per 100 g of product. One fresh green bunch collected in the garden or greenhouse is enough to fill our bones with vitamins for a long time.

Hard cheese

Parmesan
Parmesan cheese is the leader in terms of calcium per 100 g of product among all types of cheese.

Our top is closed by a hard cheese, beloved by many. After all, it is one of the best products for strengthening bone health, since 100 g of the product contains from 700 to 1000 mg of calcium. The absolute leader among them is parmesan: 28 grams of such aged cheese contains about 335 mg of calcium (a third of the daily norm) and a lot of protein.
