Groceries to Promote Bone Boost for Spine Health

The foods we eat can help prevent spinal fractures, osteoporosis, and other bone issues. Most of us struggle to get the proper amount of calcium and vitamin D into our diets even though magnesium is found in various foods like green vegetables, oatmeal, nuts and seeds, meat, poultry, seafood, and legumes. 

The spine constantly changes as metabolism breaks down, replaces, and rebuilds bone. The nutrition your bones need is always changing, as well as the body’s, as it acquires stored bone minerals for other purposes and replaces them with a fresh supply from what you eat.

The best way to keep your bones strong and pain-free is by eating a healthy diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, and magnesium. That means going beyond the dairy aisle when looking for bone-boosting foods. There are plenty of healthy options scattered throughout the grocery store. Here are some tips on what you might want to consider buying the next time you’re at the market.

The Detox Diet


NCBI Resources

Healthy body composition means there needs to be more lean body mass, i.e., muscle mass and less body fat. Strength training/CrossFit helps raise the metabolic rate while lowering body fat. The increased muscle strength helps maintain correct posture and body mechanics in whatever you do.

Physical activity reduces the chance of injury while increasing physical performance, like being able to climb stairs or carry groceries with much-added ease and confidence.
