Bone Health Vitamins

Bone Health Vitamins and Bone Health Supplements want to remind you that your mom was right about eating your fruits and veggies!   Did you know that one of the best things that you can do to improve your bone health is to eat more fruits and veggies?

I recently read that people who consume the most fruits and vegetables enjoy higher bone density levels than those that have diets low in fruits and vegetables.  This is based off of the diets of people who consumed at least 5 servings per day of fruits and vegetables.    Only FIVE servings a day can dramatically impact bone density levels?  Seems easy to accomplish, right?

Tips to enjoy more fruits and veggies:

Add fresh fruit to your morning routine of cereal or outmeal.  Just a handful of fresh berries a day can bring healthy antioxidants to your diet and help you to maintain stronger bones!

Skip the soda, substitute a fresh fruit juice.  The soda may give you a short term sugar boost, however, the fruit juice will give your body a natural boost, as well as positively impact your bone density! 

Cut up carrots, celery, apple slices and other yummy natural snacks and have them fridge-ready and handy in snack-size baggies.   They are easy to grab, easy to pack in a briefcase, backpack or purse, and you can take all the work out of preparing the snacks by creating multiple snack packs all at once!  You can even add healthy, organic peanut butter, almond butter, hummus or other healthy spreads and snacks to make the veggie or fruit snack more appealing and less boring or monotonous!

Add veggies to every meal, by adding a side salad, or incorporating the vegetables into the meal itself.  Love pasta?  Adding brocoli to your usual pasta meal not only adds appetizing color, but a healthy way to fortify your bone density.  Chop carrots, celery and other veggies into your hamburger mix, chili or meatloaf.  You will add a new level of flavors, add moisture and texture to your usual meal and impact your bones! 

Hit the Farmer’s Market, or check out local produce providers to get the freshest fruit and veggies available, as well as interesting new varieties that you can experiment with in your cooking and baking.  If  you do not have a Farmer’s Market available, check out services that will deliver fresh, in-season fruits and vegetables to  your doorstep!   Farm Fresh to You is just one example, you may be able to find a service in your community or surrounding community that offers a similar service!  AAA Fruit Baskets can be the best gift you give to a loved one, or even yourself!    Shop Fruit Baskets Now

Got a sweet tooth?  Eat a yogurt with fresh fruit, or an energy bar with a fruit serving.  The natural sweetness of fruit can soothe that sweet tooth, saving you calories and fat…and making for stronger bones!

Okay, fine.  So you cannot eat enough fruits and vegetables.   At least take a multi-vitamin or bone health vitamin to your daily routine to help your body get  those much needed vitamins and minerals found naturally in fruits and vegetables.
