Skeletons are always popular for Halloween and it is no wonder Strong bones do more than make a great Halloween costume they keep your whole body together The adult

human skeleton is a framework of 206 bones that support and protect the bodys delicate organs They also work with the muscles to provide movement Which foods can we choose that will help get our bones and teeth strong

[JJ Skim Milk Milk and other dairy products provide calcium the best bone nutrient for bone health Your heart blood muscles and nerves all need calcium to work properly If your diet doesnt include enough calcium to replace what it uses it will take it from your bones and leave them

weakened and more likely to break Skim milk is fortified with Vitamin D which works together with calcium to build bone Choose skim milk instead of whole It has fewer calories and less fat Other calcium-rich foods include low-fat or nonfat yogurt cheese and calcium-fortified cottage cheese

Calcium-Fortified Orange Juice If you dont care for milk or are lactose intolerant calciumshyfortified orange juice is a good substitute It contains as much calcium as milk and it also delivers a days worth of vitamin C which is essential for the formation of collagen a vital

component of bone matrix The best juices are also fortified with vitamin D as well as calcium Other calcium-fortified foods are can be found in some brands of soy milk rice milk cereal and bread

Collard Greens These spicy greens are among the best plant sources of calcium A 34 cup serving of cooked collards contains about as much calcium as a glass of milk Collards also contain vitamin K which also contributes to bone health

Choose fresh collards with small firm leaves and no holes or yellowish spots or buy frozen chopped collards Other calcium-rich vegetables include turnip greens kale okra Chinese cabbage dandelion greens mustard greens and broC_t)i aut nD~ spinach which cuntaills a compound called oxalic acid that inhibits calcium absorption

Nuts Peanuts almonds cashews soybeans and their butters are all terrific sources of magnesium which plays an impoltant part in how your body uses calcium Without adequate magnesium the hormones that regulate calcium metabolism cant do their job properly Choose unsalted dryshy

roasted nuts without added oils or salt Other rich magnesium foods include halibut potatoes oatmeal wheat bran and bananas

Salmon Once again salmon makes the healthy list This fatty fish is a great source of vitamin D which helps the body metabolize and absorb the calcium in food Vitamin D is converted to its active form in the kidneys enabling it to help

with calcium absorption You can even select canned salmon with bones and eat the bones They are so small you will hardly notice them and they are loaded with calcium Other vitamin D rich fish include mackerel tuna and sardines

Sweet Potatoes Sweet potatoes are a fabulous source of potassium which research suggest may boost bone health Studies have found that people whose diet contains plenty of potassium have denser bones They also lose less calcium in their

urine Opt for fresh sweet potatoes or if you buy canned or frozen varieties pick varieties that arent loaded with lots of added sugar and fat Other potassium-rich foods include tomato paste and other tomato products potatoes beet greens white beans yoglllt and bananas

Salt-Free Seasonings The sodium in table salt soy sauce and other salty seasonings can leach calcium from bones and lead to bone loss You can protect your bones without sacrificing flavor by replacing salt with super-tasty spices and dried or

fresh herbs such as chili powder ground cumin garlic powder basil oregano rosemary thyme coriander and ground pepper Dded herb and spice mixes give food a jolt of flavor but be sure to choose sodium-free varieties Other good sources of sodium-free flavor include onion garlic vinegars lemon juice lemon and orange zest

Another way to boost bone health is with

[sectJ exercise Bones need a workout By around age 30 bone mass peaks and then slowly begins

to decline putting us at increased risk for osteoporosis and fractures Women especially are at risk for osteoporosis after menopause

because they lose the protection of estrogen and begin to drop one to two percent of bone mass annually Fortunately the right kinds of exercise not only strengthen bones but also help with balance posture and functioning in every day activities The best way to build bone is to make your body work against gravity It is called weight-bearing exercise Walking running hiking tennis climbing tail jumRingroRe and dancing are all great weight-bearing exercises Aim for 30 minutes of weight-bearing exercise on most days Of course talk to your doctor before starting any exercise program

B]And after all that great food
