I come from a line of women who had osteoporosis and am taking meds that put me at risk. I’m trying to get off of supplements by eating healthy and exercising. I have a cup of homemade whole milk kefir every day in my smoothie. The low lactose and high probiotics help with gut health. I try for a diversity of plants (30+ per week) and will start adding some prunes to my diet. I have at least one meal a day with meat protein. So far the Dexa scans have been good. Fingers crossed that a healthy diet will continue the good results.

I had such a huge dairy portion to my diet and ate red meat, I am a hunter. Prunes? I ate plums in the summer when the fruit was picked. I exercised, weight bearing exercise. Never smoked. I am a fair skinned redhead that sunbathed and loved outdoor activities, lots of Vitamin D. But my Mom had severe osteoporosis and my sister and I do as well. I now take Calcium as well as my high dairy and salmon diet. I take vitamin D, 2000 mg in the summer and 3000 mg in the winter when there is less sun exposure. My sister and I took Alendronate Sodium (Fosamax) when we were Osteopenia. Now we are osteoporosis. My 5' 2" is now 4' 11". My sister that was 5' 4" is now 4' 10 ". Much of the time it is your genes not what you eat or how you live.

@@RosemaryDorfer Sound research needs more than a study of one person, though. We each have our inherited genes and are individual. What some can handle, others can't and vice versa. Some do everything wrong and still thrive well into their 90's. Others do everything right and have many health issues. Neither one proves anything on an individual basis. A research needs to have have many subjects with a few variable groups including a placebo group in order to prove anything and that study needs to be double blind to remove bias on the part of the observers or analysts. One person's experience does not prove anything other than fortune.

Hello! I felt obligated to write so if you are interested to see why I'm writing this to you, you could read my long story that I just posted on here in the last hour) 😁 But I would like to comment about Dexa Scans. For this "gold standard" of bone scans, the range "norm" is based on the bones of THIRTY YEAR OLD WOMEN!!! I'm turning 63 this month and even though I think I'm still young, nothing on my body is as good as it was when I was 30!! 🤣🤣🤣 Also, if you read my story, while I was researching everything I was dealing with, I watched a KZbin video called "Selling Sickness". (I didn't write about the documentary in my previous post), but this yt video is a French documentary about the pharmaceutical industry. There was a whole section about bone density drugs (why I was interested in watching it) and specifically an entire story about the drug Fosamax and a 59 year old woman who went and had a bone density scan and was advised to take the drug Fosamax. I highly recommend watching that video if you have enough interest to... I believe the section of the documentary regarding that woman's particular story was in the second half but you can skip forward to find it. (It's a sad but important story to know IMHO) All that just say that when it was recommended to me to take a bone density drug and I did some research on that drug, I realized that the SIDE EFFECTS are WORSE THAN THE HELP that the drug gives anyone in the first place! I could go on more, but often times the bones end up weaker than they were in the first place. Our bodies have osteoclasts and osteoblasts that renew our bones ongoing....every 10 years our ENTIRE skeleton is renewed because those two functions are continually doing their job! The osteoclasts remove OLD bone and the osteoblasts put down NEW bone. I believe in God and I believe this is a God thing, and it's amazing of course! (just my opinion haha) The drug that was recommended to me slapped down new bone, but NOT necessarily in the correct place! That drug function didn't make sure that the old bone was removed! So that would be like having a crumbling brick foundation and then slap down a bunch of cement on it and say.... oh look it's stronger and more dense now! No. That would not be a strong foundation. Lastly, even though it wasn't on the brochure, some of the bad side effects of the drug that I was recommended to take (by the bone doctor that I only went to once) were ⬇️ pneumonia shingles and osteosarcoma Osteosarcoma in plain English is BONE CANCER! So the very drug that they would recommend to help my bones be stronger and more dense could potentially cause me to have bone cancer! Lastly, everyone should know that when doctors are in medical school currently, they only spend 4 hours learning about nutrition to help their patients have better health but they spend weeks and weeks and weeks on what pharmaceutical products they should prescribe for any and all problems. 🙄 All the best to you 😊 I think knowledge is POWER!

By day 5, they told her family to make the decision to unplug her and let her die bc she was now brain dead. Barbaric practice that many can't withstand.

I appreciate your comment. I wrote the following to someone else, and although it doesn't address your question, you might want to have a look. You might already know a lot of this. If so, discard it. Disclaimer: I am not a doctor. Always consult your own doctot. Hello, bones are mainly composed of two parts: 1) protein (90% collagenous protein, for example collagen and 10% other proteins, for example "osteocalcin, osteonectin, osteopontin, fibronectin and bone sialoprotein II, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), and growth factors"), and 2) minerals (mainly calcium and phosphorus, but also "significant amounts of bicarbonate, sodium, potassium, citrate, magnesium, carbonate, fluorite, zinc, barium, and strontium). So, to summarize, mainly you need protein, and calcium, phosphorous (less than calcium), potassium, magnesium, zinc, barium, strontium). You can find protein and minerals in short grain brown rice (commercial long grain brown rice is too polished, don't use it); oats, wheat kernels and other grains, plus a variety of dried beans, plus orange/yellow veggies, green leafy veggies, plus a small amount of fermented foods, plus seaweed. Seaweed is chock full of minerals. Some seaweed contains more calcium than milk. Delicious recipes to be found on Japanese, Korean, and Chinese KZbin channels. Please do your research. Stressing bone (by exercising for example, increases its volume. You may, of course, add some animal protein and fermented milk such as kefir, as tolerated. Fermenting decreases the lactose. So, all is not lost. Take heart. The most important: whole grains, veggies, SEAWEED (a big factor, but you only need a little bit), a few seeds and nuts, animal protein and fermented milk, as tolerated, fermented veggies and beans. And fruit, of course.

O MY GOSH. So I’ve been a healthy, active Vegetarian for 40 yrs. Well I’m 69 and just had my first bone density test. I have the worst osteoporosis now. So I’m switching up my eating, I’m going to incorporate fish and eggs into my eating, but truthfully I just can’t eat red meat…. I think of the animal and it makes me sad and sick:( so that’s my story. As I’ve said, I’m very active, not overweight and just got this horrible news a couple of days ago…O well, another mountain to climb in my life:) but me being a positive person, I will persevere🤗

Wow, I am really in need of a way to build bone. However, I am lactose intolerant. I have been drinking & eating lactose free for years. But about a year ago I developed a horrific cough that caused me non stop coughing with mucus. I had to add a nebulizer & more medications. After much research I learned that dairy & many meats caused mucus to form. Some fish as well. So I have almost completely eliminated these products. My cough is finally under control. If I eat one small lactose free ice cream scoop, within a few hours I am full of mucus & coughing for the next 24 hours.

Disclaimer: I am not a doctor. Always consult your own doctor. Hello, bones are mainly composed of two parts: 1) protein (90% collagenous protein, for example collagen, and 10% other proteins, for example "osteocalcin, osteonectin, osteopontin, fibronectin and bone sialoprotein II, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), and growth factors"), and 2) minerals (mainly calcium and phosphorus, but also "significant amounts of bicarbonate, sodium, potassium, citrate, magnesium, carbonate, fluorite, zinc, barium, and strontium"). So, to summarize, mainly you need collagen protein, and calcium, phosphorous (less than calcium), potassium, magnesium, zinc, barium, strontium). You can find protein and minerals in short grain brown rice (commercial long grain brown rice is too polished, don't use it); oats, wheat kernels and other grains, plus a variety of dried beans, plus orange/yellow veggies, green leafy veggies, plus a small amount of fermented foods, plus seaweed. Seaweed is chock full of minerals. Some seaweed contains more calcium than milk. Delicious recipes to be found on Japanese, Korean, and Chinese KZbin channels. Please do your research. Stressing bone, (by exercising for example), increases its volume. You may, of course, add some animal protein and fermented milk such as kefir, as tolerated. Fermenting decreases the lactose. So, all is not lost. Take heart. The most important: whole grains, veggies, SEAWEED (a big factor, but you only need a little bit such as 1 or 2 tablespoons daily-*IMPORTANT* if seaweed is dry, soak it for several hours, then measure), a few seeds and nuts, animal protein and fermented milk, as tolerated, fermented veggies and beans. And fruit, of course. Source for the writing inside the quotation marks is an article from the National Library of Medicine, NIH, entitled: "Biology of Bone Tissue: Structure, Function, and Factors That Influence Bone Cells", by Florencio-Silva R. et al (and others). www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4515490/

Regarding prunes - do you get the same benefit from just eating the plums? Is there a nutrient change once dried other than density? Also, most commercial dried fruit is high in sulfur due to preservatives (I am extremely allergic) but natural sulfur is an important building block, would the higher sulfur content contribute to the positive effects of prunes, if so would you get the same positive effects from organic plums dehydrated at home?

One of the best deterrents (and often reversible) to osteoporosis is weight bearing exercises. Diet is not the only way to change dexa results. Many of us (me included) cannot eat dairy and choose to not eat animal products. I have had osteoporosis for several years and switched to a plant based diet 3 years ago. My diet change did not increase my osteoporosis, nor did it improve it. However, including heavy weight bearing exercises has been shown to reverse osteopenia/osteoporosis. I'm scheduled for my dexa later this year and hoping my numbers have improved. Perhaps this is a topic you can discuss in another video.
