Foods that help fight Osteoporosis

Concise information on how to avoid 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 !
