00:00Just got diagnosed with osteoporosis?

00:03Here's what no one tells you about what's on your plate.

00:06And what could be harming your bones without you knowing?

00:08When you hear the words bone loss,

00:10you might immediately picture little white calcium pills lined up on your counter.

00:15But the truth is, what you eat every day,

00:18the foods you reach for out of habit, comfort, or convenience,

00:22can be your strongest medicine for bones, or your silent enemy.

00:26Even the most ordinary foods can make a world of difference.

00:30Let's start simple.

00:32Your bones aren't asking for perfection.

00:34They're asking for support.

00:36Begin your day with an egg,

00:38nature's little capsule of vitamin D,

00:40helping your body absorb calcium.

00:43Add a generous handful of dark leafy greens like kale,

00:46collard greens, or bok choy to your meals.

00:49These are packed with calcium and magnesium,

00:52two minerals bones crave.

00:53If you enjoy fish, try salmon or sardines,

00:57especially the canned kind with the bones included.

01:00Those tiny bones are edible and loaded with absorbable calcium,

01:03plus omega-3 fatty acids that help keep inflammation in check.

01:08Not a fan of dairy?

01:09Fortified plant milks, like almond, soy, or oat,

01:13can be excellent sources of extra calcium and vitamin D,

01:17designed for those who avoid traditional milk.

01:19But there's a secret hero here,

01:21vitamin K2.

01:22While most people haven't heard of it,

01:25K2 helps send calcium into your bones,

01:28not your arteries.

01:29If you're adventurous,

01:31try a spoonful of sauerkraut or the Japanese superfood natto.

01:35Fermented foods can be your friend in this journey.

01:37Now, let's talk about what to limit or avoid.

01:41Some everyday foods can quietly sabotage your efforts to rebuild bone.

01:45Excess salt, think processed foods, canned soups, and salty snacks,

01:51actually pulls calcium out of your bones and into your urine.

01:55Sugary drinks like soda or sweetened teas don't just harm your teeth.

02:00Studies link them to lower bone density over time.

02:03And about your morning coffee,

02:05one or two cups are fine,

02:06but more than three cups a day can start to block your calcium absorption.

02:11If you love coffee,

02:13balance it with a little milk or fortified plant milk.

02:16Red meat, especially in large amounts,

02:19is also something to watch.

02:21It's acid forming,

02:22and for seniors,

02:23can be linked to higher bone loss.

02:25This doesn't mean you have to give up all your favorite foods.

02:29It just means eating them with intention,

02:31not on autopilot.

02:32You might be wondering,

02:34does this mean saying goodbye to everything you enjoy?

02:37Not at all.

02:38It means making small, thoughtful choices,

02:41again and again.

02:43And the good news is,

02:44your bones love consistency more than they love perfection.

02:48Try this.

02:49At every meal,

02:51add just one thing that supports your bones.

02:53Maybe it's a boiled egg at breakfast,

02:56a handful of almonds as a snack,

02:58a cup of sautéed spinach with lunch,

03:00or a few cubes of tofu at dinner.

03:03These little acts build up your bones from the inside out,

03:06meal by meal.

03:07It's not about strict restriction,

03:09guilt, or fear.

03:10It's about rebuilding.

03:12It's about choosing,

03:13every day,

03:14to nourish yourself with care and intention.

03:17Your diagnosis isn't an ending.

03:20It's a beginning.

03:21The start of eating with love.

03:23With purpose.

03:24And with a new understanding

03:25of the strength in every bite you take.

03:28So,

03:28if you or someone you care about

03:30has just been diagnosed with osteoporosis,

03:34remember,

03:35you're not alone.
