Bones are an important component of the human body, and weak physical structure is closely related to bone health.

Poor bone health not only causes lower back pain, but also easily leads to fractures.
For elderly people, fractures may cause or worsen cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, endangering life.
Remember to "nourish bones" more often
When it comes to "bone nourishing", the topic of "calcium supplementation" is essential.
In summer, the human body's metabolism is vigorous, the weather is good, and the sunlight is good. This is the time when calcium supplementation is most easily absorbed.
Remember the following 4 tips to make your bones stronger——
Tip 1: Eat well
The best way to supplement calcium is through food, which has a better effect than health supplements.
Eating the following 7 foods regularly can make calcium supplementation more effective with less effort.
Milk and dairy products: such as yogurt, cheese, etc;
Green leafy vegetables: such as amaranth, mustard, shepherd's purse, kale, water spinach, small rapeseed, spinach, chives, oilseeds, broccoli, etc;
Beans: such as winged beans, skinned kidney beans, etc;
Bean products: such as tofu, tofu skin, dried tofu, shredded tofu, thousand pieces, etc;
Aquatic products: such as clove fish, seaweed, seaweed, jellyfish, shrimp, and shellfish with shells;
Seasonings: such as sesame sauce, black sesame, white sesame, etc;
Nuts: such as hazelnuts, almonds, almonds, pistachios, melon seeds, pine nuts, etc.
Tip 2: Sunbathing
Vitamin D can promote intestinal calcium absorption, reduce renal calcium excretion, and continuously supplement calcium into the bones.
In summer, sunbathing is the simplest way to supplement vitamin D.
6am to 10am and 4pm to 5pm are good times to bask in the sun.
When going out, we can expose our face and arms to sunlight for 10 to 30 minutes, which can produce enough vitamin D in our body 2-3 times a week.
If the method of walking while sunbathing is adopted and passing through shaded areas intermittently, it is recommended to sunbathe for half an hour in the morning and half an hour in the afternoon.
Tip 3: Being able to exercise
Adequate exercise can help young people gain higher bone reserves and effectively prevent rapid bone loss in old age.
Tip 4: Mastering dietary therapy
Reasonable dietary therapy is equally beneficial for bone health.
According to the recommendation of the Beijing TV Health Program, the following two dietary therapies are both good choices.
01 Meat skin jelly
Famous traditional Chinese medicine practitioner Wen Jianmin has been engaged in orthopedic diagnosis and treatment activities for many years, and his recommended dietary therapy for muscle and bone maintenance is pig skin jelly.
Pig skin is called pig skin in traditional Chinese medicine, which nourishes yin and nourishes the skin, clears heat and benefits the throat. Moreover, it contains a large amount of collagen, which can improve bone toughness.
Method: Take half a pound of pig skin and 10-15 scallops. Wash and shave the pig skin, remove subcutaneous fat, add scallions, ginger, and cooking wine, blanch, then remove and wash, and cut into chunks. Add scallops and four spoons of light soy sauce, simmer over low heat for 2 hours, then remove from the pot. After air cooling, put it into a bowl or tray, cover it with cling film, and refrigerate it to set.
02 Roasted Walnuts
The recommended bone strengthening delicacy by Yan Xiaoping, a renowned Chinese medical expert in the capital, is roasted walnuts.
Walnuts can nourish the kidneys, essence, and brain. After baking, they not only have a more fragrant taste, are not astringent to the mouth, but are also easier to peel.
The oil in the roasted walnut skin seeps into the walnut meat, which has a better effect on moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements than eating raw walnuts, making it more suitable for the elderly to consume.
Method: Put the raw walnuts on the fire and cook until the outer skin is burnt black. Peel off and eat the cooked walnut meat inside.
In addition, according to the thinking method of analogies in traditional Chinese medicine, we can strengthen our bones by eating foods such as sheep and scorpions, pig spine, and cow spine.
It should be noted that the red bone marrow in the bones is the key to healthy bones, and it is important to remember to eat it.
