Osteoporosis and Acid/Alkaline diet

Osteoporosis and Alkalete

Yoli Alkalete helps with ph balance

Osteoporosis means porous bones, where bone density is reduced
leading to a higher risk of fracture, which can, in severe cases, have fatal consequences.
According to the National Osteoporosis Society, one in two women and
one in five men over the age of 50 in the UK will fracture a bone,
mainly due to poor bone health. But you can prevent and/or treat it,
says nutritionist Dr Marilyn Glenville, which I recommend highly.
Up to 85 per cent of bone development may be genetically determined,
but bone density can also be affected by lack of the right nutrients.
Continuous dieting, anorexia or gut problems (eg, irritable bowel syndrome)
may put you at risk. Other risk factors include taking too little exercise,
smoking and some medications (eg, steroids or antacids).

Exercise can help. Combine weight-bearing activities (eg, walking, dancing,
tennis, etc) with weight-resistance activities
(swimming, riding, weight training). Yoga achieves both.
Vitamins and minerals are vital for bone health. Calcium (as citrate not carbonate) improves bone density and reduces the risk of fractures. Magnesium helps metabolise calcium and, with boron, converts vitamin D3 to the form that ensures calcium is efficiently absorbed.
Aim for a more alkaline diet. Calcium stored in your bones is leached to
neutralise acid. So the more acidic your diet is, the higher the risk of fracture.
Eating a lot of animal protein – the most acid-forming foods – is linked to
lower bone density. So cut down on meat and cheese (milk and yoghurt are more alkaline) and eat plenty of vegetables,
fruit, whole (unrefined) grains, legumes, nuts and seeds.
