  • Top 3 Foods for Osteoporosis!
    Jul 11 2024

    In this video, Dr. Doug Lucas discusses three foods that can improve bone health, dairy, prunes, and animal protein. Dairy has been misunderstood, but research shows that it can increase bone mineral density and reduce bone turnover markers. Prunes have numerous studies supporting their benefits, including preserving cortical bone structure and reducing bone loss. Animal protein, particularly from meat, is associated with higher bone mineral density and reduced fracture risk. These food choices may not be suitable for everyone, but they can be powerful tools for improving bone health.
