There are many healthy and inexpensive options available to help make your bones strong. One of the best things you can do if you have low bone density is to increase your consumption of vegetables.

To find out exactly what types and how many vegetables you should be eating a day, take my free nutritional type test. The most important thing to remember is what may be healthy for others is not necessarily healthy for you and vice-versa. And eating according to your nutritional type is really the only way to ascertain what is good for you.

However, if after finding your nutritional type you find it difficult to eat the recommended amount of vegetables you need daily, try vegetable juicing. This will also help normalize high levels of acid in your body.

One of the many positive qualities of vegetable juice is that it is high in vitamin K, which is a crucial part of bone health. However, most people do not get enough of it from diet alone unless they juice vegetables or eat large amounts of dark green leafy vegetables.

While I don't recommend many vitamin supplements, vitamin K is one of the few I do, as it is absolutely essential to build strong bones, and it is proven to prevent heart disease . Yet, vitamin K is "the forgotten vitamin" that many people do not get nearly enough of on a daily basis through the foods they eat . That's why I now offer you vitamin K at a very reasonable price in my "Recommended Products" Section.

Some of Vitamin K's Major Benefits:

• Improves bone density, serving as the biological "glue" that helps plug calcium into your bone matrix
• Helps you prevent and fight osteoporosis
• Aids in preventing hardening of the arteries, or arterial calcification
• Helps prevent atherosclerosis (coronary artery disease) and heart failure

Finally, you can maintain healthy, strong bones by getting your daily intake of calcium and vitamin D. One way to get healthy calcium is through raw milk. Further, you can obtain vitamin D from cod liver oil, as it is an important addition that can help keep your bones strong.

One of the most important tools to improve bone density however is the use of anabolic steroids like DHEA and testosterone. These bioidentical hormones are incredibly powerful tools that are far more effective than the biphosphonate drugs like Fosamax and consistently INCREASE bone density when one follows the above recommendations. It is most likely one of the most important and potent recommendations I know of to improve bone density.

It is very important to use these hormones with expert professional guidance. The use of the prescription drug testosterone which is given as a gel needs to be guided through the use of blood or urine testing as the saliva testing does not work very well. It is important to understand that bioidentical estrogen and progesterone must be used when women use testosterone as this will help prevent imbalances. This works out well as most women seem to benefit from the use of estrogen and progesterone once they are menopausal. The doses however are quite variable. Typically estrogen is given as estradiol gel and progesterone as an oral micronized version as the progesterone creams do not seem to work very well.

I have recently become very excited about bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and will be having large reviews on this topic soon.
