Osteoporosis and Sesame Seeds
Foods can be important supplements of needed nutrients in our diets
As a matter of fact, foods are probably more important as a source of nutrients than our favored supplemental pills Why? How could this be?
The crystalline compounds that we ingest for, say, supplemental calcium are not in a recognizable state; they are in an unnatural form They are like the picture without the picture frame so the body doesn't recognize the picture
Now sesame seeds, that's a different story Sesame seeds are a good source of supplemental calcium and probably a whole lot cheaper than the pills
According to some sources a handful of white dried decorticated sesame seeds has 1200mg of calcium and 500mg of magnesium and is a great habit to do in the morning routine This alone can be helpful in reducing the risk of osteoporosis particularly in postmenopausal Pitta Vata women
Estrogen is necessary for maintaining healthy bone metabolism utilizing calcium, magnesium, zinc, and others for healthy bone structure
Since estrogen is reduced in postmenopausal women herbal replacement therapy would be advantageous as discussed in the past
And lastly improving the health of the colon is also important since it is is a primary mineral absorption site in the GI tract We can take all the supplements on the planet but if we don't have the ability to digest, absorb, and assimilate it won't be getting into the body
Until tomorrow To health as a Skill Love DrBill
