Before I put the first bite of food in my mouth or swallow the first sip,
I run down this mental list of guidelines for this bone-building diet:
- 80% alkaline / 20% acid
- Fruits and vegetables
- Seeds and nuts, including almond milk
- Eggs
- Small amounts of meat and fish
- No fried foods
- No dairy
- No processed flour
- No processed sugar
- No caffeine
- No carbonated beverages
- Lots of water!
Coupled with weight-bearing exercise, this diet builds strong bones…naturally!
