New Nutrition Plan For Healthy Bones

Margie King – Although calcium is an essential mineral for bone health, it does not prevent bone fractures concludes Annemarie Colbin, Ph.D., founder of The Natural Gourmet Institute and author of The Whole-Food Guide to Strong Bones. It’s time to lose your old dietary notions of milk, yoghurt and calcium supplements and replace them with new concepts in bone health.

How can you possibly get enough calcium in your diet without dairy? It’s unthinkable for most people. Until you consider, suggests Dr. Colbin, that the largest animals on the planet with the biggest bones are herbivores like cows, horses and elephants that get plenty of calcium.
