Spot on about exercise. Increasing your intake of calcium (whether from milk, leafy greens. etc.) without exercising, and then thinking it will increase your bone mass significantly, is like eating more protein and thinking you’ll get a muscular physique even if you don’t exercise.

best brief information.. amazing

A key piece of advice is missing here. Don't eat a lot of or supplement with calcium and D3 without also supplementing with K2. D3 helps with uptake into your bloodstream, while K2 sheperds the calcium from your arteries into your bones. High calcium serum levels without adequate K2 are instead associated with hardening of your arteries, which you don't want.

Thank you very much! 'Milk Makes Bones' is the biggest product of the powerful dairy lobby, 'big business'. Milk is not particularly good for you (or a particularly good source of calcium) but criticizing dairy products puts you into the 'endangering our kid's teeth and bones' category. Calcium is also important for our emotional well being. A good calcium, magnesium, zinc and D (combined) supplement is good to take (and harmless) esp as we get older.

I would also add that it's terrible to suggest only eating vegetables for older people as you require a more acidic stomach to derive the most of those minerals. Vegetables contain anti-nutrients and enzyme inhibitors which reduce the correct functioning of your digestive system..........

There is nothing wrong with milk (or other dairy products such as cheese or Greek yogurt) as part of a balanced diet, assuming that you aren’t lactose intolerant.

Nice video.

260 bones make up our skeleton, that consist of 3 parts , they are renewed and replaced every 10 years, the calcium is necessary to maintain the levels all around our body. Yogurt, cheese, spinach, broccoli, fish , cereals Vitamin d, exercise that stresses your bones stimulates growth of new bones! Remember how much you love your heaps..

i love it! could you talk about using sunscreen and vitam D, I have some family members who think you shouldn't wear sunscreen because of vitamin d production...

Excercise is quite underrated

I really think this video needed to emphasize a lot more on the importance of activity plus nutrition instead of talking so much about the structure of the bone.

orange juice, or any juice for that matter, are very high in sugar and low in fiber. I know shes smarter than me, but I dont recommend juice for anything.

Eat low inflammation diet, look up "foods high in Omega 6" and eliminate or limit those foods as much as you can, an easier way to remember it is "anything processed has Omega 6" because any food that comes out of nature has Omega 3. Man-made foods are bad for knees.

No mentioning of how imporant is magnesium and vit K for the bones?

Wouldn't strengthening your bones via activity be increases its MASS? So we don't stay the same MASS, if we lose calcium overtime from inactivity

And don't forget vitamin k2 for bone health.

Would, but I’m at risk of aortic dissection. So lots of weight bearing walking and basic housework such as vacuuming, scrubbing the tub, mopping floors.

A lot of stuff missing here. but I guess it's fine for a 4 min video. for example. your body doesn't really absorb calcium from milk that has been heated. like the ones on store shelves. in order to increase the time, it can stay on the shelf for you to buy. The same goes for foods that have been artificially supplemented like cereals and tons of other processed foods. the less processed the food is. the better it is for you.

I don’t drink milk for the nutritional value (that’s just a bonus), I drink it because it’s tasty.

You will need 2kg raw broccoli for a daily intake of calcium, or 1 kg of spinach wich contains oxalic acid that binds to both iron and calcium and make crystals in your body. 100 gram of cheese is what you need for a daily intake.

The Calcium contained in milk can just partially be absorbed by the body - we have been fooled by the milk industry for decades. I started to wonder about this after realizing that nobody in Asia drinks milk (OK, in the past ...) - still they have bones.

Hip hip hooray

Yes you can get calcium from other places than milk products. BUT they didn’t mention any portion sizes. To get the same amount of calcium than from a cup (=2.4 dl) of milk you would have to consume: 300 g of spinach / 1,5 dl of almonds / 5 eggs / 2-3 oranges / 3 tbls of tahini / 5 dl of soya beans / 150g of salmon / 1 kg of broccoli. An adult needs 800 mg of calsium a day, which is about 3-4 portions daily. Yes, you can live with out drinking milk, but getting enough of calsium with out any milkproducts is hard.

This is short on actual information... our body takes calcium from our bones to maintain alkaline blood which can become acidic from too much soda, or animal protein (yes, milk is counter-productive here), to name but a few of the causes of acidity. Kale chips took me from border-line osteoporosis to normal bone density... and they're very tasty!

Milk is over sold
