* [[Boron]] plays a very important role in minimizing the risks of osteoporosis and [[arthritis]] : The bone building capacities of boron are often ignored in favor of calcium. However, it is boron that works in unison with calcium to strengthen the bones
* The bones also need a good mix of essential minerals and fatty acids for healthy bone function. This includes plant-derived magnesium and silica as well as animal forms of saturated fat and the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA & DHA.
* Prevention of Osteoporosis : [[StrontiumBamboo]] + [[Alfalfa]] : In laboratory research, scientists have found that strontium ranelate (a form of strontium registered as a prescription drug in many countries) may help increase bone formation by promoting the growth of osteoblasts (a type of bone-forming cell).In addition, laboratory studies suggest that strontium ranelate may help protect against breakdown of bone (a process known as "bone resorption").
* [[Potassium]] : Metabolic acids are somehow largely neutralized by potassium compounds or potassium salts.
*[[Plums]] can prevent bone loss…and even restore bone that’s lost through aging
* [[Magnesium]] : Almost 60 percent of the dietary magnesium is located and stored in the bones, and the muscles and tissues have the rest.
* [[Strontium]] : In laboratory research, scientists have found that strontium ranelate (a form of strontium registered as a prescription drug in many countries) may help increase bone formation by promoting the growth of osteoblasts (a type of bone-forming cell).In addition, laboratory studies suggest that strontium ranelate may help protect against breakdown of bone (a process known as "bone resorption").
*consuming adequate protein, less sodium, and more magnesium and potassium is a great way to protect bone health.
*physical activity, specifically a combination of aerobic, strength, balance, and flexibility exercises.
* [[Horsetail]] : regular consumption of Horsetail extract along with a calcium supplement may be beneficial for osteoporosis, arthritis, and conditions caused by low bone density. It's suggested to stop taking Horsetail for one week after every one month of its regular use.
* [[Red Wine]] : drinking one or two alcoholic beverages…mainly wine…may improve bone health.The researchers suggest that the alcohol acts like estrogen in reducing bone turnover.
