Today is World Osteoporosis Day, so it’s the perfect time to share with you the incredible health benefits you can reap from drinking an alkalizing, delicious smoothie every day.
In today’s post, you’ll learn about these benefits and I also give you one of my favorite smoothie recipes. Plus I’ve got a special offer I can’t wait to share with you!
Let’s get started with the amazing benefits of daily smoothies.
1. Your Cravings For Bone-Damaging, Sugary Foods Will Disappear
Cravings, especially sugar cravings, can have various causes. Sometimes, a craving denotes a need for a nutrient or substance that has nothing to do with the food you’re craving (sugar cravings can indicate thirst, for example).
Staving off cravings is important for bone health, because more often than not, you’ll crave simple carbs or sugary foods that damage your bones. Smoothies help you feel more energetic (sometimes tiredness brings on the desire for sugar), and they pack so many nutrients into one cup that you’re much less likely to have a deficiency that could bring on a craving. They also contribute to hydration and feeling full, which brings us to the next point.
2. You’ll Feel More Satisfied And Experience Less Hunger And Thirst
Because smoothies are full of fiber and liquid from raw foods, they fill you up and hydrate your body. Staying hydrated is important for rejuvenating bones, yet it’s often overlooked in the fight against osteoporosis. In fact, hydration is often overlooked in general – many people are dehydrated and not even aware of it.
But Savers are aware that hydration is a vital component of bone health, and pure water is a crucial element on the Program. Without adequate fluid, every body process suffers; after all, every cell depends on water to some degree. Proper kidney function, weight regulation, joint pain, stress, mood, and bone remodeling (to name a few) are all negatively affected by a lack of water.
So getting into the habit of drinking a daily smoothie is a great way to boost fluid intake and give your bones the water and nutrients they need to renew themselves.
3. Your Digestion Will Improve
Digestive problems are disturbingly common in Western society. Prescriptions for antacids, laxatives, and other digestive “aids” are at record high numbers. The proton pump inhibitor Nexium was the third most prescribed drug in the U.S. between July 2013 and June 2014.
Such drugs damage bones by preventing the absorption of vital nutrients, and they actually increase fracture risk.
These sobering facts should inspire us to make improvements in our daily diets, including the regular consumption of smoothies, which help digestion in various ways:
The raw food used in smoothies is full of enzymes that prevent putrefaction of food, which can produce toxins that damage your bones.
Smoothies have lots of plant fiber that helps keep digestion regular and the bowels moving.
Smoothies are easy to digest, especially because processing in the blender breaks the fiber into very small pieces. This makes smoothies a good option for those who have problems with nutrient absorption or other digestive challenges.
4. You’ll Boost Your Intake Of Foundation Foods And Foundation Supplements
A healthful smoothie can be thought of as a highly bioavailable liquid multivitamin and multi-mineral. If you’re on the Osteoporosis Reversal Program, then you know that it advocates getting as many nutrients from foods as possible. Smoothies are an excellent and easy way to achieve that.
5. Your Immune System Will Improve
This holds particular relevance in the Northern Hemisphere right now, when cold and flu season is just around the corner. It’s easy to throw immune-boosting ingredients into your smoothie, such as citrus fruits, plain yogurt, and berries. These foods are good for bones, too – and they taste delicious.
Smoothies build up your immune system in other ways as well, especially because of their positive effect on digestive health. Studies have shown that the friendly bacteria in our gut boosts our immune system, so a probiotic-rich smoothie with plain yogurt, kefir, or other fermented foods is a powerful shield against the flu.
6. You’ll Alkalize Your System
While eating a 100% alkalizing diet is not the aim of the Program, alkalizing your system through a pH-balanced diet is. Smoothies make it really easy to drink your way to stronger, youthful bones, because they pack so many alkalizing foods into one glass. Mixing in some acidifying but bone-healthy foods, such as blueberries, makes a healthful, pH-balanced smoothie.
Here's one my of my favorite smoothie recipes:
Pineapple And Greens
Natural source of: Vitamin K, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Manganese, folate, Magnesium, Iron, Vitamin C, Vitamin B2, Calcium, Potassium, Vitamin B6, Vitamin E, Copper, Vitamin B1.
Ingredients
- 1 handful pineapple chunks
- 1 celery stalk, sliced
- 1 handful spinach leaves
- 5 ice cubes (can replace with 1/4 cup distilled or purified water)
Directions
- Put all ingredients in a blender and blend at high speed until smooth.
And this brings me to the special surprise I’ve been waiting to share with you today…
My World Osteoporosis Day Gift To You: The Blender Magic Recipe Booklet
The ‘Pineapple And Greens' smoothie is one of my favorite and is part of the Tropical Treasures section of Blender Magic.
Blender Magic contains 30 bone-healthy, alkalizing and delicious smoothie recipes that are compiled in nine different categories, such as Savvy Simplicity, Avocado Delights, Melon Madness and Bountiful Berries – to name a few. Also, each recipe lists the bone-healthy nutrients found in each smoothie.
And in celebration of World Osteoporosis Day, I'd like to ship you a free print copy of Blender Magic when you order the Osteoporosis Reversal Program.
If you don't have the Osteoporosis Reversal Program yet, now is the perfect time to get started with it because with your order we'll include a print copy of Blender Magic at no additional cost.
Please note that there are only 74 Blender Magic booklets left from our last printing and we're unsure as to when our next one will be.
To take advantage of this special offer, you must click the button below:
Sorry, but the print version of Blender Magic is sold out.
Blender Magic is still available as a digital download and is bundled with the Bone Appétit cookbook.
Blender Magic is a collection of 30 delightful smoothie recipes crafted specifically for your bones. It also provides you with tips on the best ways to store your fruits and vegetables, the benefits of blending vs. juicing, and how to pick the right blender. Plus it contains the Dirty Dozen list so you’ll know which ingredients should be organic, due to their high pesticide content.
Please remember, this offer is only available for the first 74 orders of the Osteoporosis Reversal Program.

I cannot thank you enough for the information about bones and nutrition.
As a retired homeopath some of the most disturbing signs in the young ones are the poor posture, calcification of joints and the lack of concern about taking medicines and the hidden sugars now part of the 21st century diet. All rob the bones of valuable nutrition.
Keep up the good work.
Hello Vivian, if you could, is it possible to send me a free Magic Blender Recipe Booklet? I would love to see your recipes. My husband and I drink your smoothie every morning. Since spinach is one of my favs along with pineapple, it’s an easy and delicious drink.
I have enjoyed the Save Our Bones & Densercise Program. I appreciate all of your help in keeping us healthy and drug-free. Thank you so much. Cynthia
