Vivian Goldschmidt, MA. Regular yogurt has three times as much calcium than Greek yogurt and is therefore great for people who need more calcium in their diet. Greek yogurt has a lower potassium content than regular yogurt. Every 6 oz serving of Greek yogurt contains around mg of potassium whereas regular yogurt contains around mg of potassium.

How much quercetin does one need to take a day to obtain the benefits? Such as one or two apples a day or what amount of foods do you need to eat daily to get the benefit of quercetin? Quercetin is a bioflavonoid common in the plant kingdom, especially high in onions, red wine, and green tea.

Ideally, we should be drinking 5 cups a day. Too many for me. JOYCE CORMACK. I drink one tea bag in 2 cups of water, hope to move up to one cup water to one teabag. Is loose tea that you brew any better than tea bags for these nutrients? I get the loose tea for brewing.

It is tastier and fresher. Cup for cup, kale is the king of calcium it contains three times more than spinach. The crimson veggie is a rich source of inulin, a carbohydrate that naturally enhances calcium absorption in the intestines, according to a recent study in the journal of lost in the paste.

I forgot to add that the loose tea I buy, the leaves are actually green in color. Leslie Ms. I Also Take Evening Primrose In A Soft Gel Form. NANCY RAIN. This has helped very little and is costly to continue. Is going to try steroid injections next. Can you advise us on any treatment for the relief of pain.

Thank you. Clara Mae Watrous. Hi Vivian, Very interesting about quercetin and the foods that are high in it. I have a question. I want to get your program as soon as I gather some money to do so.

Clara Mae. So stay tuned! Hi, My question is what, if any, muli-vitamin is recommended. I purchased the SaveOurBones program last year, and am taking an AlgaeCal based calcium supplement, with D3, K2, etc. But Vivian recommends many other Vitamins and minerals to take.

I am no fan of a multivitamin. There is always too much vitamin A, the synthetic kind, in them. Vitamin A, the synthetic type, keeps us from absorbing D. We get so much A from our vegetables, natural A, and our body knows how to deal with it properly. Dianne, I am not currently recommending any particular brand of multivitamin…but the Program does contain an extensive list of Foundation Supplements, so you should have all the information you need to choose a good one.

Nancy Pulecio. Dear Vivian, you are so wonderful sharing with all of us all your knowledge. There are not enough words to thank you. Every day when I look into your e-mail I feel you are like my doctor telling me what to do with my osteoporosis and I am sure that in a year since I started following your guidance I will be WELL!

Thanks always thanks!!! Today, February 20, , I read your latest suggestion for good bone health. You suggested that we use the antioxidant called, Quercetin.

Is it a new finding? This information simply underscores the healthful nature of the Save Our Bones diet. Yes, blueberries and cranberries are acidifying, Andrea; but that does not mean they are off-limits.

Raymonde Savoie. I know Quercetin very well from having studied it as part of my herbs and herbal remedies that I make from wild herbs. One free and significant source of Quercetin is found in the leaves of the quite deceivingly ordinary plant, Evening Primrose, Oenothera biennis.

The whole plant was once used by indigenous peoples in North America, and as many know, the seeds of this plant are the base for Evening Primrose Oil, with potent GLA that helps an array of conditions, among them PMS and ADD.

If you collect the leaves for consumption, you must make sure that the plant does not grow within short distance of any parking lot, public or private roads, etc. because you risk ingesting the pollution from vehicle exhaust fumes. Luckily, this plant grows in many habitats, so you are bound to find it somewhere where it is safe to collect it.

Evening Primrose is a biennial plant, so the first year you will find only the flat rosette of leaves growing in a circle close to the ground. The second-year plants have the distinctive stalks and the typical yellow flowers that only open on cloudy days or after sunset, giving it its common name.

That's why even mild excesses of vitamin A appear to increase the risk of fracture. But there's more to it, since a study of men found that a deficiency of vitamin A is also linked to an increased likelihood of fracture.

The first indication that vitamin A might increase fracture risk came from Scandinavia, where the average vitamin A intake is six times more that it is in southern Europe, and the risk of hip fracture is also much higher. In Norway and Sweden, the study found, people who consumed more than 5, IU 1, mcg of vitamin A per day were twice as likely to fracture their hips as people who took in less than 1, IU mcg a day.

In fact, a Swedish man is about two times more likely to fracture a hip than is an English woman. The Nurses' Health Study evaluated vitamin A consumption and fracture risk in 72, post-menopausal women.

It found that women who averaged more than 10, IU 3, mcg of vitamin A per day were one and a half times more likely to fracture their hips than women who consumed less than 4, IU 1, mcg a day.

The Harvard researchers added the important observation that beta-carotene did not contribute to the risk of fracture.

Women are more vulnerable to osteoporosis than men. Do the Nurses' Health findings apply to men? In Sweden, they do. A year after the Harvard study of women was published, a year study of 2, Swedish men found that men with the highest blood levels of vitamin A were 2.

Although the Swedish study did not evaluate diet per se, it seems likely that men who consume about 5, IU 1, mcg a day would boost their blood levels well into the fracture-prone range.

That's the old recommended daily intake and is well below the 10, IU 3, mcg that has been considered the safe upper limit of daily vitamin A consumption.

The fourth study of vitamin A and fracture risk takes us back across the Atlantic and back to a study of women — in this case to 2, to year-olds who participated in the first National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey NHANES I. In the s, the volunteers submitted detailed health information, and the researchers obtained blood samples that were later used to measure vitamin A and beta-carotene levels.

The scientists kept track of the women for an average of 22 years. During that time, women with the highest vitamin A levels were 2. But low levels of the vitamin were almost as hazardous, increasing fracture risk by 1. Moderation may not be the best solution to all problems, but it seems to be the winner in the quest for the best dose of vitamin A.

A 4-year study of men and women found that an average daily consumption of 2, to 3, IU per day to mcg was associated with the highest bone mineral densities.

Unlike the other research, the Rancho Bernardo Study did not evaluate actual factures, but bone density is a good predictor of fracture risk. And in this study, bone density declined in people who took in either more or less vitamin A.

Taken together, these studies suggest that there is less wiggle room for vitamin A consumption than previously believed. The current recommended daily intake is 3, mcg for men and 2, IU mcg for women.

According to the Rancho Bernardo and NHANES I studies, these amounts should be ideal for bones as well as general health. But how can you be sure you are getting the right amount? It's a bit complex. To avoid excessive amounts, don't eat liver or take fish liver oils.

Avoid large amounts of other vitamin A-rich foods such as whole milk, eggs, and meat. Since these foods are not good for cardiovascular health, that's the easy part of the equation.

Non-fat dairy products and breakfast cereals are healthful foods, and because they are fortified with vitamin A, they can provide some of what you need see table above.

But a cup of non-fat milk contains only about IU mcg , and a serving of cereal about as much. Try to get much of the extra vitamin A you need from the beta-carotene in yellow-orange vegetables and fruits carrots, tomatoes, cantaloupe and in deep-green vegetables such as spinach. And don't forget the other things that keep bones strong, including proper amounts of vitamin D and calcium, and lots of weight-bearing and resistance exercises.

From A to D, nutrition is getting more complex every year. In the case of vitamin A, though, it's also getting smarter. As a service to our readers, Harvard Health Publishing provides access to our library of archived content. Please note the date of last review or update on all articles.

Bone building and breakdown Bone continually undergoes a process of remodeling, which entails resorption and formation. Busy bones To understand the complex way vitamin A affects bones, you need to understand just a bit about bones themselves.

A-plus fails The first indication that vitamin A might increase fracture risk came from Scandinavia, where the average vitamin A intake is six times more that it is in southern Europe, and the risk of hip fracture is also much higher.

When it comes to vitamin A and bones, more is not better. But is less better? A-minus fails The fourth study of vitamin A and fracture risk takes us back across the Atlantic and back to a study of women — in this case to 2, to year-olds who participated in the first National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey NHANES I.

In particular, this damage occurs as the tightly bound collagen strands running through the mineral phase of bone are forcefully broken. These ruptured collagen strands interact with oxygen-yielding radical metabolites.

These free radicals are associated with inflammation, further breakdown of bone collagen and excessive bone turnover. Antioxidants repair oxidative damage from free radicals. In particular, antioxidants Vitamin C and lycopene have been shown to improve fracture healing in animal models and cultured human cell lines.

A superior quality antioxidant supplement like our Super C Plus will deliver these ingredients. Nourishing the body to reduce inflammation naturally speeds healing. Try adding an Omega-3 fatty acids supplement to naturally soothe the inflammatory process and speed healing. One key factor in your bone health risk during menopause is the state of your hormonal balance.

Estrogen helps preserve calcium in the body and prevent bone breakdown, but when estrogen falls out of balance with other hormones, your bones lose this benefit. Low progesterone levels common in perimenopause may also affect bone-building cells, disrupting the natural process of bone breakdown and repair.

Interfering with this process can have a negative effect on the health of your bones over time. If you have experienced digestive issues in the past, this is a red flag that your digestive tract needs an infusion of good gut flora to assist with digestion and absorption.

Evolving studies on probiotics and bone health have shown that probiotics can be helpful for stemming bone loss in menopause.

Quercetin: A Nutritional Powerhouse That Helps Increase Bone Density The antioxidant quercetin has an indirect but very powerful effect on your bones. These stabilizing substances, of course, are antioxidants.

How The Antioxidant Quercetin Helps Quercetin is one of many antioxidants, but it deserves special mention because its positive effects on the body go beyond the disruption of the oxidative cycle mentioned above.

The Role Of Stress In Your Bone Health Chronic stress is debilitating for many body systems, including your bones. The adrenal glands produce cortisol as part of this process. Health Benefits Of Quercetin Beyond Your Bones In addition to the stress-reducing effects of quercetin, research has also shown that this antioxidant aids other body systems too.

For example… Quercetin balances blood pressure according to a study published in the Journal of Nutrition. Participants in the study experienced balanced arterial pressure after taking quercetin supplements.

Preliminary findings suggest that quercetin inhibits the release of histamines. Vision problems Inability to focus Confusion Bladder control problems Rapid heartbeat This is just one example of many. Quercetin Can Be Found In A Variety Of Delicious Foods.
