Did you know that some foods actually leach minerals, such as Calcium, right out of the bone, including cartilage and joint areas? Some foods also block the bone’s ability to regenerate and strengthen itself. The foods you eat should be providing the nutrients to build strong bones — keeping them viable, including their associated cartilage, tendons, ligaments, tendons, bursae, synovial fluid, muscles, nerves, etc. — not sap them or kill them off!


It doesn’t matter what form of wellness intervention you engage in — medications, herbal formulas (tinctures, homeopathics, supplements, and the like), exercise, etc. — certain foods can work against your body’s ability to heal itself. They often leach nutrients out of your body’s systems, or block the body’s ability to store and use them.

If you have issues related to bones, joints, connective tissues, and the like — if these issues show themselves as arthritis, joint pain, osteoarthritis, cartilage degeneration, aching, stiffness, etc. — then you need to look at ways that your diet can aid you, not make things worse! It may be necessary to minimize ingestion of certain foods.
THE IMPORTANCE OF CALCIUM
Did you know that 99% of your body’s calcium is stored in your bones and teeth? This calcium makes up your bone bank. Calcium is “deposited” and “withdrawn” from your bone bank daily, based on your body’s need for calcium. If your daily diet is low in calcium, calcium is “withdrawn” from your bone bank. Bone is broken down to keep your blood calcium level normal. This happens because calcium, besides aiding the bone system, plays a critical role in supporting your body’s vital functions; such as controlling your blood pressure and maintaining your heart beat.



6 BONE-KILLING FOODS
SALT
According to federal dietary guidelines you should not ingest more than 2300 milligrams of salt per day. However, MOST PEOPLE EAT DOUBLE THE SALT EVERY DAY! How is this possible? It’s these types of PROCESSED foods that account for 75% of your sodium intake (table salt provides very little), so AVOID or minimize them:


Canned foods such as soups, vegetables, sauces, spaghetti, etc.
· Frozen meals, entrees, etc.
· Deli meats
· Pizza
· Fast food (especially burgers, fries and shakes), restaurants, cafeterias
Why Salt is a Bone Killer: It saps Calcium from the bones, weakening them over time. For every 2,300 milligrams of sodium you take in, you lose about 40 milligrams of calcium, dietitians say. One study compared postmenopausal women who ate a high-salt diet with those who didn’t, and the ones who ate a lot of salt lost more bone minerals. If you are young and eating a high salt diet, your bones are actually aging and degenerating faster than you! Similarly, any amount of extra weight you carry needs to be supported by strong bones, so a high salt diet is actually making them weaker and more fragile, thereby increasing the potential for injury.

What to do: Limit or avoid the above processed foods — they are literally crippling you. Eat fresh foods (vegetables and fruits) that contain natural traces of sodium as part of their nutrient-richness. Cut back on processed sauces and condiments (soya, tamari, catsup, dressings, cooking sauces) that are naturally high in salts and sugars and used in home cooking. Don’t overdo sport drinks and electrolyte-regenerating liquids like Gatorade, and the like.
