Herbal Teas That Support The Bone Density

I’ve been putting the final touches on the Bone Health module in Thrive Again, and I’m currently working on the herbal tea section.

There are a couple of lovely herbs I wanted to mention because they can be a useful little addition to your bone-health routine:

Nettle tea - naturally rich in minerals including calcium and magnesium, and is traditionally used as a nourishing mineral-rich tea. It is also a great one for your hair and nails.
Red clover - contains isoflavones that have been studied for their potential role in bone health, particularly around menopause. It is also an interesting herb to include during the menopausal years.

And these are just two little pieces of the bigger picture.

The Bone Health module is going to look at how you can support your bone density through food, what foods and lifestyle factors may work against it, and what else your bones need beyond simply taking calcium and doing strength training.

I think this is an area where there is still a lot of missing information. Many women don't realise their bone density has been declining until they have their first scare or it comes up at a medical appointment.

But there is actually a lot we can do to support our bones, particularly from our 40s onwards.

I'm excited to get this one finished and into Thrive Again.

Have you tried nettle or red clover before? I know in some countries, like Estonia, they even make salads with nettle in it.....
