Concise information on how to avoid osteoporosis. I think too much stress and current hectic lifestyle also interferes with calcium absorption due to which even quite young women fall victim to bone problems. Our family doctor recommends dry dates powder boiled in a cup of milk each night as a sure shot means of avoiding osteoporosis after crossing 40.

Besides Dates, nuts, pulses and green veggies except spinach, as usual physical activity like walking will help prevent Osteoporosis.

Yes dates and nuts have a lot of nutrients ...basically an active life with balanced diet should take care of our bones and keep us healthy.However, I have seen even those who have led an active life and have been careful about their diet getting the condition in later years ...One of my aunts had this and she died last year after suffering for many years since she could not walk properly nor could she sit because her bones had become paper thin !

A single factor like healthy food alone will not prevent the Osteoporosis.If  It is supported either by a morning walk or Yoga., the desired results can be obtained Activity plays a vital role.

Flaxseeds are rich of Omega-3 and Fatty acids and Antioxidant Foods like Pineapple, Cranaberries, Beetroot, Banana etc. are very helpful to fight Osteoprosis. Calcium Pouch once in a week is also important to bones. Balance Diet is also helpful. 

Cutting salt intake, exercise consisting of Squats and curbing Caffeine are the effective ways to fight osteoporosis

Fish and sea food especially crabs are a rich source too and of course the others that you have mentioned..I guess a balanced diet is generally essential to keep one fit and healthy...Indian food if taken the right manner is very balanced since it has carbos,proteins ,vitamins and other nutrients in the right proportion..
