Zucchini.
Zucchini is one of the most versatile and popular vegetables available worldwide. Various types of zucchinis can improve eye, skin, heart, bones health, immune system, and even reduce the risk of certain types of cancer. Additionally, the active compounds in this vegetable may help in the prevention of osteoporosis in women. Despite not having a wide range of minerals in its composition, zucchini contains several key minerals for supporting bone health, specifically for providing mineral density to bone tissue.
Ghee.
This product is obtained by heating butter, during which water and lactose are removed. Ghee is considered healthier because it contains many unsaturated fatty acids and vitamins: A, E, D, PP, and B. It also contains phosphorus, iron, zinc, calcium, and copper. Ghee is also a source of fatty acids, which are important for supporting heart and brain health. It contains vitamin K2, which promotes bone health and may be beneficial for preventing osteoporosis in women. As ghee contains almost no milk proteins, it is suitable for people with lactose intolerance.
Olives.
The presence of polyphenols makes olives useful for preventing bone loss. Studies have shown their effectiveness in bone formation and maintenance. Being rich in phytonutrients, olives should be added to any diet to prevent osteoporosis.
The minerals, contained in olives, protect the heart and blood vessels from overloads, increase hemoglobin levels in the blood, and promote bone tissue strengthening. For example, calcium found in olives plays a vital role in strengthening bone tissue involved in joint formation. The presence of manganese helps regulate muscle tone, supports the normal functioning of connective tissue, and is necessary for the regeneration of joint cartilage cells.
Brown rice.
Brown rice is considered an elite variety due to its refined taste (with a slight nutty flavor), pleasant aroma, and airy, loose structure. Its color is explained by the fact that this rice is unpolished. That’s why it contains much more nutrients and beneficial substances than polished rice, as it undergoes less processing.
As known, the main composition of vitamins and amino acids are found in the grain’s bran and germ — with mild processing, all their beneficial properties are preserved. Brown rice is especially rich in B-group vitamins and very useful for strengthening the nervous and muscular systems. This rice is a dietary product, as it does not burden the pancreas and does not require a large amount of insulin for digestion. With regular consumption, muscle fibers develop and strengthen well, leading to rapid muscle mass growth. It promotes bone strengthening, making it very beneficial for preventing osteoporosis in women.
However, remember that only consuming beneficial foods cannot stop the disease. It is important to consult a doctor and start treatment (such as Fosamax or Osteofos) promptly.
