Building Stronger Bones with Wise Woman Ways
Introduction
Did you know your bones are constantly changing? Each day, some bone cells die while new ones are formed. Up to your early 30s, you can easily generate plentiful new bone cells. However, after age 35, producing new bone cells becomes increasingly challenging. In this article, Susun Weed explores Wise Woman Ways to help you maintain strong and flexible bones.
The Ever-Changing Nature of Bones
Your bones naturally undergo constant change, where old cells die, and new ones emerge. In your early years until your 30s, new bone formation is quite robust. With a proper diet, not only can you replace lost cells, but also strengthen your bones further. After age 35, this becomes more challenging, which often leads to concerns about osteoporosis ?" a condition marked by low bone mass.
Understanding Osteoporosis and Menopause
By the age of 40, many women begin losing bone mass. Traditionally, women have been advised to take hormones or drugs to prevent further loss as they enter menopause. However, bone mass tends to decrease naturally during menopause due to reduced new cell production and calcium absorption. This phase, often termed "bone-pause," is typically short-lived and can last between five to seven years.
Rethinking Osteoporosis
It's crucial to shift our focus from viewing osteoporosis strictly as a disease. The Wise Woman Tradition emphasizes focusing on nourishing the whole woman rather than addressing a single problem. Interestingly, postmenopausal high bone mass has been more closely linked to an increased risk of breast cancer than to broken bones.
Nourishing Your Bones Naturally
Bones can rebuild themselves with the help of nourishing herbs which provide abundant bone-building minerals. Studies, including those by Dr. Campbell, suggest that diets rich in plants and leafy greens significantly reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Incorporating calcium-rich plant foods and moderate exercise leads to strong yet flexible bones, unlike the dense but brittle bones resulting from hormone use.
Practical Steps for Strong Bones
Step 1: Prioritize Calcium-Rich Foods
To ensure a positive calcium balance and strong bones, consider these tips:
- Eat three or more calcium-rich foods daily.
- Avoid foods that hinder calcium absorption.
- Pair calcium with synergistic foods to enhance its benefits.
- Avoid calcium supplements.
Step 2: Holistic Bone Support
Ask yourself, what does it mean to support yourself and have a strong foundation in life? Engaging with this energy is essential.
Step 3: Nourish with the Right Nutrients
Bones require protein, various minerals, and high-quality fats, including vitamin D. Including protein-rich foods like legumes, dairy, and fish, as well as mineral-rich herbs like nettle and oatstraw, is vital.
Step 4: Avoid Calcium Antagonists
Some foods reduce calcium absorption, such as:
- Oxalic acid-rich greens like spinach and chard.
- Unfermented soy products.
- Foods high in phosphorus, like sodas and white flour products.
- Certain lifestyle choices, including excessive salt and sugar intake.
Step 5: Rethink Supplements and Drugs
Calcium supplements are often unnecessary and could even increase fracture risk. Instead, focus on a diet rich in calcium-rich foods and herbal infusions.
Step 6: Assess and Adjust
Before resorting to hormones or drugs based on bone density tests, consider using natural remedies and reevaluate your bone health after some time.
Conclusion
Building stronger bones is a lifelong journey that benefits significantly from natural methods. By incorporating nutrient-rich foods, engaging in physical activity, and embracing the Wise Woman Tradition, you can support your bone health naturally and holistically.
