My friends and extended family sometimes have issues with falls, including hips, ankles, shoulders, neck, knees and fingers. What can be the matter? Osteoporosis!

First, we need to be careful. Our intuition and our karma can help us avoid accidents and injuries. At our current speed, and with our usual eating habits, intuition and karma are both compromised.

Eating animal foods, and eating too much food can make us sloppy, tired, and unconscious. Not the way you want to be when you are walking, running, biking, driving, flying and in general doing ten things at once. We either need to do less, or be more careful, or both.

Another consideration is how weak our bones can become on a high animal food diet. Meat, eggs, chicken, and dairy all are extremely acidic, and as a result, our bones need to give up precious calcium to buffer it. Taking calcium supplements will not work, as much as that sounds great.

My advice is to eat animal foods infrequently, and forgo beef, pork and chicken for mostly fish. Also, limit dairy to once in a while, and stay away from fat-free dairy (skim milk), as it’s more difficult to digest than full-fat dairy. But after an acidic meal, eat a natural pickle (without colors, preservatives and vinegar). Also, eat plenty of greens such as kale and collards, and chick peas and other legumes. Then you will get more calcium you can use.

Also use sea salt everywhere you use table salt. And eat sea vegetables. They are great for you!

These tips will help you keep your bones intact. Enjoy!!
