1) Eat Healthy to Avoid Osteoporosis
One good natural treatment for osteoporosis is to eat the right food. Most people believe that eating dairy products and other animal proteins will keep them from losing bone mass. This idea is actually incorrect and the animal proteins will contribute to osteoporosis. Eating too much protein makes the blood acidic (proteins are made out of amino acids). The body likes to be slightly alkaline and so it pulls calcium from the bones to bind up and eliminate the excess acid. It is a hard cold fact that countries that eat the most dairy have the highest hip fracture rates. You can look at a chart of this and the hip fracture rate follows the dairy consumption right up the line. You should stay away from any animal proteins as much as possible. There are ample proteins in grains, legumes and vegetables.

2) Hydration
When you don’t get enough water in your diet you tend to lose bone mass. This is because your body needs water to increase blood flow and to produce blood cells to aide in the strengthening of your bones. On a daily basis you should drink at least eighty ounces of water if not more. Eighty ounces may sound like a lot but it is only ten eight ounce glasses. So if you drink ten to fifteen eight ounces of water a day you should be good to go. Make sure to use this natural cure every day so that you won’t lose bone mass.
3) Muscle Tone
When you are suffering from osteoporosis you should build up your muscle tone so that you can also strengthen your bones. The best work out for muscle building is light weight lifting repetitions such as curls and bench lifting. Make sure when you weight lift you don’t lift your max weight but a weight that you are comfortable with. When building your muscles up make sure that you exercise the specific muscle groups every other day so that you do not overstress your body.
4) Peanut Butter
Peanut butter is one of the best home remedies for osteoporosis. Peanut butter contains magnesium, which is essential in building up bone strength. Magnesium also helps maintain bone mass and helps rebuild bones. You should eat two table spoons of peanut butter each day which will give fifty milligrams of magnesium, which you need every day to improve your osteoporosis. When buying peanut butter you should buy natural and organic for the best results. You can find most natural and organic peanut butter at most health food stores in your town.
5) Apples
Eating apples every day is a great way to naturally cure your osteoporosis. Apples contain boron which is a building block in the strengthening of your bones. It will also help you maintain your estrogen balance. It is important to keep your estrogen balance because estrogen helps keep your bones strong and when you have osteoporosis you lose estrogen. Make sure when you are choosing your apples that they are organic so that way you won’t be ingesting chemicals and pesticides that can cause issues with your estrogen.
