Natural Osteoporosis Treatment – in Three Easy Steps

Natural osteoporosis treatment is highly effective, because in most cases the cause is simply a case of a bad diet.

The western diet of high protein in the form of meat, of high dairy consumption, of high processed foods and of little raw fruit and vegetables is basically the cause of most osteoporosis.

Couple that with some of the medications used to treat osteoporosis, most of which do more harm than good, and you have a recipe for poor bone density.

Let me explain.

When you look at wild animals eating meat, it is always accompanied by bones. Meat needs calcium to digest. So if you have a high meat intake, your body has to take the calcium from somewhere, in order to digest the meat. Your bones have the highest source.

Dairy is high in calcium, but it is in a form which is only available for baby cows who have not been weaned. Those of us who have been weaned and who aren’t bovine have a hard time digesting this. And it does you little good, making your body pH acid.

Any gardener will tell you that an acid soil needs calcium. So do you. But in a form that is in natural balance, that you can absorb easily. The best source of this is food. Such as green leafy vegetables. These are high in calcium, in a form that is easily absorbed by your body.

Processed food is food which has been denatured, either by the removal of key nutrients that help digest it (such as wheat germ in flour and molasses in sugar) or has been cooked so much, there is little goodness left.

So avoid processed food.

For natural osteoporosis treatment, first change your diet. Make it high in fresh fruit and veggies, especially green leafy veggies. Eat as much of it raw as you can. Eliminate or cut down on animal protein (meat, chicken, fish, eggs, dairy). Green leafy veggies are high in protein as are nuts and seeds.

Cut out processed food. This can be a tough one, so be creative in your alternatives. Sugar can be replaced with honey. Milk can be replaced with oat or nut milk. Use wholemeal, stone ground biodynamic flour. Avoid soy and artificial sweeteners. They are probably worse than what they are replacing, for different reasons.

The second most important thing to do is to take a supplement. But the supplement should be a superfood, rather than the common isolated and synthetic supplements. Synthetic and isolated supplements are very hard for your body to utilise. At best they go straight through (expensive poo). At worst, they hang up in parts of your body to create problems later on.

Blue green algae is a wonderful superfood, high in easily absorbable calcium and all its related nutrients.

And finally, to complete your natural osteoporosis treatment at home, take the tissue salt Calc phos 6x. Suggested dosage frequency is two to four times a day. This is available from health food stores, homeopaths, naturopaths, homeopathic pharmacies and online.

If your osteoporosis is quite severe, then I suggest you seek the services of a professional homeopath, in addition to the above life changes.

Easy Steps to Staying Healthy for Women

One cannot fully understand what it would entail to become healthy if they would not know what health means in the first place. Health as defined by the World Health Organization is the state of complete physical, mental and emotional well being and not just merely the absence of disease. 

It doesn’t mean that if you’re thin, you are healthy. It doesn’t mean that if you may look physically well, you’re healthy. There are a lot of factors that have to be considered in order for a woman to be physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy.

These are the following tips one must look into to stay physically, mentally and emotionally healthy.

Staying Physically Healthy

Eat a well balanced diet. Do not skip meals

 Do not skip the most important meal of the day – breakfast. Remember, your stomach has been empty for about 11 to 12 hours. You have to eat breakfast before you start your day.

 It doesn’t mean that you have to undergo starving yourself to death just so you can achieve the weight you desire (the thin look). A healthy height and weight proportion. Should be maintained. Meaning your weight has to coincide with your height.

 Drink plenty of water every day. Every single day we lose fluid. We call it sensible and insensible loss. As we breathe in and out, we lose fluid, we sweat, we eliminate. Hence, we need to replenish our body on a regular basis. We don’t want our cells to shrink and die.

 Exercise. Do regular exercise, be it isometric or aerobic. Rather than using the remote, get up and walk towards the television to turn it off. Take a brief short walk early in the afternoon, or take your dog for a walk. Exercise increases circulation and improves health.

Perform regular breast self-examinations. It is best to perform this after your menstrual period.

Avoid alcoholic drinks, smoking, and other vices that would harm your body.

Staying Mentally Healthy

Practice your memory. Try this from time to time. Memorize a few words and make sure you still remember those at the end of the day.

Meditate and from time to time release all the bad energy and focus on one’s self.

Stay positive.

Staying Emotionally Healthy

If you are at the brink of emotionally breaking down, cry. Don’t keep your emotions inside It is healthy to cry.

Have a support system where you can share what you are feeling. Don’t let it all get bottled up inside you.

Smile rather than frown. You age less if you smile. You age more if you keep frowning and getting mad.

Remember

Before anything else, the major point women should watch out for is the four Fs (female, fertile, forty, fair). Hence, if you fall into this category then you should be meticulous and be cautious with your health. As health is defined, it is the overall state wherein you are healthy. Physically, mentally and emotionally, you have to be healthy.
