7 Foods That Can Help Keep Your Bones and Joints Strong in the Cold

wikitree Views  

When the temperature drops, our bones and joints are affected. Our knees may stiffen, our joints may become uncomfortable, and the lack of sunlight and outdoor activities can weaken them. Here are seven foods that promote bone and joint health during winter.

1. Bone Broth

Bone broth, made from simmering cow bones, is beneficial for bone-related issues. The initial boiling process produces a rich, white broth packed with protein. However, the marrow released later is even better for your bones. Plus, it’s high in protein but low in calories, making it a health-friendly choice.

2. Tofu

Tofu is made from soybeans and contains highly absorbable protein, which is excellent for bone health. The body absorbs nearly 100% of the protein. Tofu is also loaded with essential amino acids like lysine and is rich in calcium.

3. Shiitake Mushrooms

Shiitake mushrooms are rich in protein, vitamins B1, B2, D, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, and selenium. Vitamin D is especially crucial as it helps with calcium absorption. As a low-calorie food, shiitake mushrooms are perfect for your waistline and bones.

4. Egg Yolks

Egg yolks can prevent deficiencies in calcium and phosphorus caused by a lack of vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to muscle weakness, fatigue, heavy legs, and, in severe cases, depression. Consuming 3 to 5 eggs weekly boosts your immune system and bone health.

5. Tomatoes

Tomatoes are a nutrient-rich food that is beneficial for dieting. They are high in vitamins B2 and C but low in sugar and calories. They help reduce cholesterol and prevent fat accumulation. Their flavonoids and carotenoids can help ease knee, joint, and back pain.

6. Chives

Chives are rich in vitamins A, B2, C, carotene, calcium, and iron. They contain alliin, which stimulates the autonomic nervous system and promotes energy metabolism. Additionally, the nutrients in chives help keep the body warm and improve blood circulation.

7. Broccoli

Broccoli is a vegetable that provides calcium, which is essential for bone health. It contains four times more calcium than spinach, making it a standout among nutritious vegetables. Adequate calcium intake can help prevent bone and joint diseases.
