Herbs and Vegetables for Healthy Bones

The essentials for healthy living bones; exercise, herbs and vegetables. Besides mineral supplementation there are a number of safe herbs and vegetables you can lean on for added mineral support. Herbs: One of my favorite herb is nettle, in fact it is a favorite among most herbalists, simply because it safe for most everyone and makes a great tonic. Nettle is a common spring herb which grows along streams, at the edge of the woods and along yards and fence lines. Come spring time you won’t have to look far to find it, but be careful because it stings. So if you do want to harvest fresh nettles for tea and soup wear gloves.

Minerals for Healthy Bones

Bone is living, growing tissue that is constantly remodeling. It is continuously breaking down and rebuilding, essentially replacing itself as most tissues in the body. In order to properly rebuild bone, certain nutrients are necessary. From a macro perspective, the composition of bone is made up of minerals (~70%) and protein (~30%). Without minerals, bone would bend and be malleable like a piece of clay. And without protein (or collagen) bone would shatter like a piece of glass hitting hard pavement.
