What is osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is a bone disease. It’s essentially porous bones which features low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue.

Symptoms of osteoporosis

Osteoporosis acts silently, with few symptoms often until a fracture occurs.

Other signs of osteoporosis include loss of height, back problems, stooping, loss of strength and compromised balance.

Who’s at risk for osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis affects all ethnic groups but Caucasians and Asians are at highest risks.

It can occur at any age but incidence increases with age.

It is relatively common in developed countries.

Women are four times more likely to develop osteoporosis than are men. For example, in the U.S., 55% of people over 50 years of age suffer from it.

You can certainly take all of the supplements believed to help with osteoporosis and gain some degree of assurance. But many of the nutrients work better with helping nutrients which is why getting most of the nutrients from natural foods is best.

Best herbs for osteoporosis

Stinging nettle contains a number of wonderful nutrients which keep bones strong, including calcium, magnesium & phosphorus. You can drink a few cups of nettle tea daily or take capsules as directed by manufacturer.

Dandelion is another of the better natural remedies for osteoporosis because it is very high in boron and contains silicon which also strengthens bones. Lightly cook leaves along with other leafy greens for a bone building side dish.

Horsetail contains silica which strengthens nails, hair & bones. Drink horsetail tea freely throughout the day. You can also buy horsetail capsules - take about 2,500 mgs daily, in divided doses.

Pigweed is a great natural source of calcium which is well-recognized as essential for maintaining & building bone. Consume its leaves lightly cooked or in a salad.

Avocado, is thankfully another herbal remedy for osteoporosis as it provides vitamin D which is another important nutrient for maintaining bone.

Finally, soybeans, which are good for many reasons, may be nature’s best herbs for osteoporosis. It is especially good for preserving bone. This might be because it provides protein without forcing excretion of calcium like meat protein does.

I don’t like tofu either, okay. I just combine one part cooked soybeans to two parts other beans in bean dishes like bean soup or chili. Tastes great.
