Foods for bone health

[ectomorph28]

I'm just curious what are some of the foods that are important for bone health?

And whats typically good for bones? Protein, carbs or fats? Or does it primarily depend on the food.

Thanks

I think you want to focus on foods that have relativity high values of calcium if you are concerned about bones. At least 1,200 mg/day of calcium should be consumed, it is better to get calcium from food sources than supplements but whatever way fits into your diet should suffice. Magnesium should also be taken with calcium, generally in a ratio of 2:1 calcium to magnesium.

The best natural sources of calcium are milk, cheese, ice cream (obviously not recommended for BB’ers), yogurt, buttermilk and other dairy products. Other sources include salmon, green leafy vegetables, non-dairy almond drinks and tofu. Again you have to chose things that fit into your overall diet.

If you more concerned about joints and connective tissue related to bones that involves different items.
