A member asked:
What are foods that are good for increasing bone density?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bone density: Foods are not the answer. You need a reasonable amount of calcium daily - milk is good for your bones. You also need 1000 or 2000 units of vitamin D a day. They are inexpensive over the counter. Put that all aside. Have you had a bone density test yet - not common or necessary before menopause unless you have clinical evidence of bone loss.
