The health of our bones is really important at any age….but as women go through menopause it’s even more important to prevent osteoporosis.

Here’s some easy foods to include in your shopping trolley on a regular basis.

  • Eggs – packed with vitamin D which aids absorption of calcium & also a great protein.
  • Prawns – rich source of phosphorous….85% is found in our bones.
  • Tofu – rich in calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, Vit A & K & is a great vegetarian protein source, plus it helps to lower cholesterol, balances hormones & is anti-cancer.
  • Edamame/Soy beans – Also high in calcium, phosphorus, beta-carotene, amino acids, iron, Vit B3 & C, protein & EFA’s – again perfect for vegetarians. They are also a primary source of lecithin which helps control cholesterol.
  • Onions – prevent calcium from leaching from bones…plus high in silicon to help build new bones.
  • Pumpkin & Sesame Seeds – jam packed with magnesium, iron, zinc, phosphorus, & EFA’s, working with calcium to build new bones.
  • Walnuts, Cashews & Almonds – again high in calcium, magnesium, zinc , iron,, potassium, folic acid & Vit E.

  • Plums & Prunes – plums are naturally high in inulin to enhance absorption of calcium to keep bones strong. Prunes help to restore bone mass due to their high calcium content.
