Build Strong Bones Like Michelle!
This week's edition of "People" magazine features the
first lady, Michelle Obama.
The interview is mostly about the first lady turning 50.
More importantly, how she's dealing with it and how she's
going to deal with aging in the future.
One thing the first lady is concerned about- is bone health.
That's right- the first lady wants to do everything in her power
to avoid fractures, especially hip fractures.
She's smart to exercise, exercises like dancing, working in the
garden and weightlifting.
But she can do more to protect her bones.
What type of things?
She can eat certain foods, foods like...
a) Brussels sprouts, (especially good for keeping hips strong)
b) Plums (fresh and dried plums which are prunes)
c) Tomatoes- especially cooked.
d) Alcohol- a beer or a shot of vodka a few times a week.
Overdo the alcohol and you risk a fracture and alcoholism.
e) Swiss Chard- Find it at supermarkets or Farmer's markets.
Clean it and add it to a veggie stir-fry.
f) Cheese- More specifically the cheese that's popular in
Sicily and Tuscany. What type of cheese is it? Pecorino.
Researchers think that it's better for your bones because it's
made with sheep's milk.
g) Mustard- And you thought it only made hot dogs and sandwiches
taste better, it also helps keep bones strong. h) Dark Chocolate-
Is there no end to the incredible benefits one can get from this
incredible food? Buy (real) dark chocolate or buy a top quality
cocoa.
That's it- The food Rxs that'll help women like the first lady,
Michelle Obama, or you, regular Jane in Lima Ohio- keep your bones
strong and fracture-free.
