Bones are living tissues and require proper nutrition! With osteoporosis, the rate of bone loss speeds up while the rate of making new bone tissue slows down. Bones become more porous, brittle, fragile, and susceptible to fracture. If your diet doesn't provide enough calcium or your body doesn't absorb or metabolize it well, your bones may suffer. Other contributing factors include hormonal imbalance, hyperthyroidism, conventional drugs, lack of exercise, cigarette smoking, high alcohol use, fluoride, environmental toxins and heavy metals. Caffeine is insidious, especially if it replaces normal sources of calcium in your diet. The body may have to leech calcium from the bones for use elsewhere.
If your bones could talk, what would they say to you?
The best source of calcium is diet, but a good liquid calcium and magnesium supplement may be essential
for many people.

I have two comfort foods: French fries and chocolate pie. I know they have little nutritional value, but that doesn't seem to matter much. I'm not sure what subliminal memories I may be harboring, perhaps from my childhood, but I do remember there were never quite enough home-made French fries to go around at our house when I was growing up and chocolate pie was a rare treat. These "foods" still hold an unusual and illogical, if not mysterious, appeal for me. We eat for many different reasons and hunger is often not at the top of the list. Comfort is one of the common reasons.
