Top 5 Foods For Healthy Joints

If you are looking to improve your joint health, the simplest way to do it is to adopt a proper diet. Eating foods which look after your bones on a daily basis is something all of us need to do in order to protect our joints. This advice is important no matter what your age or gender may be. If you take steps to boost joint health, then many bone-related problems which affect elderly persons can be avoided with ease.

Let’s look at some easily available foods you can consume daily to keep your bones safe and strong!

Protect your joints with 5 foods

1. Dairy products: These are the most commonly recommended foods for people concerned about their bone health. Milk, cheese, yogurt and other dairy-based items are rich in calcium and vitamin D, both of which are vital in protecting your bone health. Remember to drink at least a glass of skimmed milk every day or have a cup of yogurt in your meal. 

2. Spinach: Green leafy vegetables like spinach are a natural source of calcium along with other essential nutrients like magnesium and vitamin C. Most importantly, spinach gives you vitamin K, which protects your joints from bone loss due to old age. So you should eat plenty of spinach on a regular basis.  

3. Nuts: Nuts are not only delicious, but also contain essential vitamins, minerals and healthy fats, so it’s not really a surprise that they’re good for our bones, too. Nuts like almonds, walnuts and pistachios are a wonderful source of magnesium, Omega-3 fatty acids, potassium and vitamin B6, all of which work together to protect your bones.

4. Sardines: These easily available fish have a strong concentration of calcium and vitamin D, both of which perform a vital role in bone development. Eating sardines is an excellent substitute to milk for those who are lactose-intolerant. 

5. Lentils: The humble dal is a friend of your bones as it is rich in much-needed protein, which keeps you safe from Osteoporosis. Lentils like black gram (urad dal) are a rich source of calcium. They are really easy to make, and have adequate folate, potassium and protein to help maintain optimal bone strength in the long term.
