Preventing and curing osteoporosis and osteopenia. Starts Young.
I have researched building bones, and since I had osteopenia. Giving up wheat is number one, because it makes the body acidic, and calcium leaches out of bones to normalize ph. Prunes have boron and eating 8-10 a day helps with calcium and magnesium to strengthen bone. I also heard onions help too.

Leafy green vegetables, and your best cheese, your best almonds and almond milk plus, some Greek yogurt (Icelandic) (or Cabot Greek Yogurt) will help save your bones. If you do take calcium try calcium citrate or calcium lactate. And please consider these alternaties. I have had a challenge growing broccoli sprouts which are the highest in calcium. Get your magnesium from the same green leafy vegetables and figs and almonds. Find your best foods with these two tests.
Manganese also found in almonds and your best bean, brown rice (I don’t because of high arsenic content), and leafy green vegetables like spinach, and pineapple is especially good for ligament structure, especially in spine health
