Dear Margaret,
Let's face it, us men have pretty tough lives...
Putting the bins out, reading a map CORRECTLY,
having your heart broken by a football or rugby
team... the list goes on and on.

But sometimes, the ladies have to put up with
quite a bit as well.

Take two aunts of a friend of mine...
After living through decades of monthly cramps, 5
childbirths between them, then decades of
childrearing followed by the menopause, both
ladies were diagnosed with osteoporosis - a
condition where the bones become weak and
easily broken.

I hate to admit it but...
... being a woman can be hard.
I know that osteoporosis affects men too. It's just
that post-menopausal women are by far the most at
risk.

This is going to sound really bad... in fact it

The other just ditched hers in the bin!

A proven natural alternative in your fridge

The only reason I can think of is that there's no

When the 'cured' aunt started looking for natural

Back in 2002, Dutch researchers took a group of

A lot of supplement companies make good money

Don't worry, I'm not suggesting you sit down for

How to make your own super calcium
supplement

- Wash some empty eggshells in warm
water and let them dry- Break them into small pieces and grind
them to into a fine powder. Coffee
grinders work best but a blender or even a
pestle and mortar will do. Store the
powder in an airtight jar.- Mix 1/2 teaspoon of powdered eggshell
with the juice of half a freshly squeezed
lemon. (Yes, lemon again! Have you
bought YOUR tree yet? Lemon Trees)
The solution will start to bubble and foam.- Leave at room temperature for 6-12 hours
and that's it! It's ready to take.
Half a teaspoon of eggshell gives you about
400mgs or calcium citrate, which is the
recommended amount you should take each day.

Ever since my friend's aunt started taking eggshell
calcium, she's been regaining bone density. All
her sisters take it now.

If you've been diagnosed with osteoporosis, why
not give it a go?

And while we're on the subject, here are a few
more natural, proven ways to help prevent
osteoporosis:
more natural, proven ways to help prevent
osteoporosis:
- Up your intake of essential fatty acids.
Fish oil containing EPA and GLA has
been shown to protect against
osteoporosis. There are plenty of fish oil
supplements in the shops these days - and
there's always cod liver oil. Or just make
sure you enjoy some salmon, mackerel,
sardines or other oily fish three times a
week.- Exercise your way to healthier bones
More than 100 studies show that regular
exercise such as brisk walking, running,
aerobics, tennis and badminton strengthen
your bones and lower your risk of getting
a fracture.- Enjoy the sunshine. Vitamin D increases
the amount of calcium and magnesium
your body absorbs from food. Better still,
it makes sure more calcium enters the
bones and stays there.Your body produces it when your skin
comes into contact with sunlight. So just
make sure you get outside for at least 20
minutes a day.- Eat a varied, wholefood diet. It goes
without saying, right? But since calcium is
best absorbed with all the other trace
elements we've been talking about, it
makes sense to eat it in its natural form.Almonds and broccoli give you plenty of
calcium along with magnesium,
phosphorous, B vitamins and iron - all
essential for healthy bones.- Don't cook with aluminium. Studies
have shown that aluminium can inhibit the
parathyroid gland which can then lead to
osteoporosis. So instead of using foil to
cook in the oven, use baking paper.To store food, use a glass container. Avoid
plastic containers, especially soft, flimsy
ones. They're full of phthalates which
have been linked to cancer. But that's a
whole other story...
That's it for today. I'll be back again next week
with more tips, ideas and research to help you
enjoy better health and a better life!
