Delicious Smoothie To Strengthen Your Bones

Although natural remedies cannot work magic, there are treatments and foods that can help us fight certain pathologies. The right combination of nutrients in a shake to strengthen your bones will complement your daily care routine.

We could also increase the consumption of vitamin B12 or take calcium and magnesium supplements. The truth is that the progressive reduction of our bone mass depends on many factors. Our genetic inheritance, lifestyle and even a poor diet are key elements that lead to the dreaded osteoporosis.

Therefore, we should never overlook our diet and what we include in it. To strengthen bones, drinking milk is not enough. What’s more, increasing your intake does not guarantee at all to regain bone mass. We digest it poorly and it is common today to be lactose intolerant.

Therefore, we invite you to know this delicious recipe for a shake to strengthen bones.

An easy and delicious recipe

In our shake to strengthen your bones we assure you that we will not include dairy. Thus, it will be a digestive drink suitable for lactose intolerant. It can also be taken by children, the elderly and the family in general.

We tell you about the properties of its ingredients and what makes them so beneficial for our bones.

Almond drink

“Eat almonds and build your bones.” This popular phrase is just a clue to everything that this nut can do for our health. In fact, even the Romans believed that their gods lived only on honey, almonds, and walnuts.

• Why deprive ourselves of this pleasure? You can consume between 6 and 7 almonds a day to strengthen your bones. They are rich in phosphorus and magnesium, two very powerful minerals to take care of our bone health.

• Nor can we forget that almond milk or vegetable drink is one of the most digestive. Do not hesitate to prepare it yourself or buy it in a diet center (take care, of course, that it does not have sugar).

Yolk

Most energy shakes usually include the yolk of an egg. In our natural drink to strengthen your bones we are going to add it for many other reasons:

• Each egg yolk contains up to  eight vitamins : B, B6, B9, B-12, A, D, E, and K.
• The one that interests us the most is vitamin D, naturally present in egg yolks and milk.
• Vitamin D allows us to absorb calcium and phosphorus from our food so that they are assimilated and not lost.
• A diet rich in vitamin D improves the health of our bones and joints.

Walnuts

Delicious and an exceptional complement to our shake to strengthen your bones.

• Nuts are a natural alternative to milk because they contain more calcium, are more digestive and are richer in minerals and vitamins.

• In addition, they contain multiple proteins, as well as zinc, iron and phosphorus. Nutrients all of them widely used by vegetarian diets and to replace, for example, animal proteins.

Cherries

Did you know that cherries are anti-inflammatory? They will come in handy for those times when we suffer from arthritis or when joint pain and inflammation appear.

• Cherries are rich in anthocyanins, a type of flavonoid very suitable for taking care of our bones according to experts.
• Also, we cannot forget that cherries contain vitamin B12. This vitamin, as well as folic acid (or vitamin B9), are essential to strengthen bones, ligaments, muscles and joints.

How to prepare this smoothie to strengthen your bones

Ingredients

• 1 glass of almond drink (200 ml)
• 3 walnuts
• 10 cherries
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon of honey (25 g)

Preparation

• The main problem we can have when preparing this recipe is that we cannot find cherries.
• In our shake we have decided to include them because in addition to being rich in calcium, they are anti-inflammatory. However, you can add strawberries, blueberries, papayas or even bananas instead, since they are fruits rich in calcium.
• The first thing we will do is wash the cherries and remove the shell of the nuts.
• Separate the white from the egg yolk and take the latter to the blender, along with the glass of almond milk, honey, walnuts and cherries.

• Blend well for a few seconds and get a smooth drink.
• Always drink in the morning and, if possible, freshly made. Do not hesitate to supplement your diet with fresh fruits and vegetables.

Regulate the consumption of red meat, since animal proteins could reduce our calcium intake, as well as highly acidic foods (soft drinks, sweets, foods rich in salt, etc.).

If you have diabetes or some other disease, consult your doctor before including any new product in your diet.

Enjoy the smoothie!
