When we talk about natural therapies tend always the ear. A topic that immediately attracts my attention because of my lack of enthusiasm for pharmaceuticals. Li uso only if strictly necessary.

Well, a few days ago while chatting with friends with the same interest, jumped out 'an eggshell and a lemon' united strengthen bones. About, Also remember that the cheese is not the best choice in the case of bone diseases. Read WHO.

But back to the topic key. Wait, I had a flash! I see myself as I watch my grandmother give baby chickens eggshells chopped together to feed. Amazed ask: “Grandmother, but you do?!"Now, at a distance of years, l'ho capito finally.

The eggshell is composed of more than 90% calcium carbonate, a concentrate, useful in the case of osteopathy. Yeah I hear you say: “And with this? What we do, we eat the egg shell in the case of calcium deficiency?"I would say no, or better, there is a trick, let's say that you could drink it! 😉

In practice this is an old 'grandmother remedy’ useful in case of osteoporosis, for those who want to take calcium and less medicines by strengthening the bones.

I'll explain how to prepare.

• Take an egg is not stamped, therefore possibly not the supermarket.

• Cook until it becomes very hard, and peel it.

• Put the nuts in a glass, and cover it with the fresh lemon juice.

• Allow to stand for a whole day. Thanks to the citric acid in the lemon will result in a concentrated liquid calcium therapeutic, that you may drink.
  

• A cure to be performed three times a week, for a minimum and a maximum of three months.

Dairy products ... I love them! I speak of milk and its derivatives. Foods rich in calcium, of protein and B vitamins. But beware, not all are good.

Did you know that in the case of disease to bone the best choice is to not take dairy products or derivatives? Well you! Although we have grown up with the belief that milk is good for the bones take preventing osteoporosis, things are a bit’ diverse.

To clarify the question I asked the intervention of Sara Cordara, nutritionist and specialist in food science.

Hello Cynthia, then, I start by saying that it just seems to increase the calcium intake with supplements or dairy products and derivatives does not improve the health of bones and runs instead to create a variety of problems, sometimes even serious. I would call it almost “paradigm of the calcium in milk”.

When we take too much calcium in the diet, this implies a reduced capacity of absorption of magnesium. It's the magnesium that regulates the hormones responsible for bone health. And it is a magnesium deficiency that affects the enzymes that ensure good bone health.

Excess calcium can lead to magnesium deficiency, which in turn reduces the activity of the enzyme phosphatase, essential for the absorption of calcium in the bones. The enzyme phosphatase in milk has been completely destroyed by pasteurization.

This is why bone health is reduced by consuming milk instead of the raw commercial or maternal. For this reason, the marketing of milk has led in all countries, an increase of the phenomenon of bone fractures!
