Are tomatoes just as good for your bones if cooked with olive oil just until tender? I never cook anything for hours!
What about just adding some olive oil to tomato products that are already cooked such as tomato or marinara sauce? Would that work?
Thanks for your reply.

What kind of surface is best to do the heel/jump exercises. Is it best to wear shoes (tennis)or do it on carpeting in barefeet? I live in the north and outside exercising is not always an option. Thanks!!

Hello Vivienne,
I do the stage 1 in my tai chi class. Will make sure I do it every day. Unfortunately step 2 & 3 will be too much on my knees. Thanks again for your info. Best wishes Monica Phillips

Hello Vivian,

Thanks for sharing the exercise video with us. After reading your book I did decide to delay taking the Osteoperosis medications my doctor had recommended until I could learn more about tackling my diagnosis naturally. In addition to changing my diet I have started a weight bearing exercise program and it will be great to add these hip exercises to my regimen. Thanks forall you do to educate us trying to find better alternatives for ourselves.

Loretta

I was wondering if the jumping exercise is effective with sneakers on or is it best barefoot. I wear othodics and would like to use the support. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your (always)encouraging words Vivian. The early morning sun and late afternoon sun is the best here in Queensland to collect our share of free Vitamin D. – that is also the best time for me to water my garden – and change my potplants around – and cut some bougainvillea – and quissquailis – sometimes I take my fruit out in the morning (eat it fighting the bees) while I get my Vitamin D. I’ve only begun to do this since receiving your words of wisdom Vivian. Thanks again!!!! Kelsey Fickling. Q’ld. Australia.

Yes gardening is very good for one’s well being. I enjoy my time in our garden. Especially early in the morning when all the birds are
going about their business, and the air is fresh and crisp.
