Most of us know we need adequate amounts of calcium for strong bones but it's important to also know that when it comes to osteoporosis, we MUST get the proper amounts of magnesium, manganese, vitamin K and boron.
You can help meet magnesium needs by eating soybeans, wheat germ, seafood and dairy items. For extra manganese eat nuts, especially hazelnuts & pecans, avocados & oatmeal.
Vitamin K is found in leafy green vegetables, especially spinach, broccoli, green cabbage & tomatoes, while boron is found in carrots, applesauce, broccoli, peaches, pears & cherries.
