Dr Rupa Shah threw light on practical steps to take to boost bone health @ VIC 2019.
“Why do we believe that calcium tablets are the solution to all our bone issues?”, quizzed Dr Rupa Shah in her talk on 7 July 2019 to a packed audience at The Suryaa. “There are efficient ways of healing and strengthening your bones”, she stated, to her audience.
Her 30-slide presentation illustrated universally known facts, but oft forgotten principles that the body only recognizes and sources only natural sources of nutrients to build and repair the body. She went on to outline a number of whole food sources that are rich sources of calcium. “These natural foods are bioavailable and so they are easily assimilated within the body. Also, we need to build our bones the same way we care about our complexion and our hair. Right foods must also be bolstered with regular exercises that strengthen the ligaments that support the bones.”
Dr Rupa’s presentation also busted common myths about protein. She stated, “whole plant-based foods offer all the proteins one needs to sustain the body. She shared a list of foods like beans, peas, millets and sprouts that offer high nutritional values to the body.
