The truth about dairy
For years, we’ve been told that dairy is essential for strong bones but I want to bring forward for momma's in this group the truth about bone health and milk for kids.
The most important for strong bones is Exercise:
Bone health begins with movement. Weight-bearing exercises like walking, running, and strength training stimulate bone remodeling and improve density. Without exercise, your bones aren’t receiving the signals they need to stay strong—no matter how much calcium you consume
Next is Calcium: It’s Not Just About Dairy
While calcium is important for bone health, dairy isn’t the best or only source. Here's an eye-opener: your body absorbs 50% of the calcium in bok choy compared to just 30% from milk. Plant-based calcium sources, like leafy greens and fortified foods, are not only more absorbable but often come with other nutrients your body loves.
Then if your thinking about Vitamin D: The Calcium Absorption Partner let's debunk that myth
Calcium needs vitamin D to be absorbed effectively and reach your bones. While milk is often fortified with vitamin D, natural sources like sunlight, fatty fish, egg yolks, and supplements can be even better.
Lastly Magnesium: The Missing Piece
Magnesium is essential for activating vitamin D and regulating calcium levels in the body. Without adequate magnesium, calcium can’t do its job effectively. Foods rich in magnesium include nuts, seeds, avocados, and dark chocolate.
