Incredible! This Easy-To-Prepare Dish Provides Every Single Foundation Supplement

It’s not easy to find one dish that contains every single Foundation Supplement. That’s why today’s recipe is really special – not only does it contain every Foundation Supplement as listed in the Osteoporosis Reversal Program, but it’s absolutely delicious too!

So I can’t wait to share this recipe with you today, and explore the bone-rejuvenating supplements it offers.

Why Are Foundation Supplements So Important?

Foundation Supplements are key nutrients that your bones need in order to be restored and strengthened. In other words, they are the building blocks of your bones.

While many supplements can be found in multivitamin pills, obtaining as many of these vital nutrients as possible from foods is essential, and here’s why.

The nutrients found in food are bioavailable to the body because they are in their natural, organic state rather than processed into a synthetic form. When you think about it, plants are the ones designed to take the minerals directly from the soil in their inorganic state. When a plant’s roots take up minerals from the soil, the particles bond to other substances in the plants, and we then get the minerals when we eat them.

Essentially, once taken up into the plant, the minerals become food. In their inorganic state in the earth, these minerals are in a non-food state (in other words, rocks). They are chemically different than the minerals found in plants. Regardless of how far back in history you look, eating rocks was never part of the human diet!

It’s Impossible To Get Enough Of The Foundation Supplements From Food Alone

Unfortunately, farming practices have taken important minerals out of the soil, so plants grown in depleted soil have less nutrient value. That is why additional supplementation is necessary.

A good plan of action is to combine a quality multivitamin with plenty of Foundation Supplements found in foods.

And today’s dish contains every single one of them, so it’s a great way for you to get food-based supplementation.

Foundation Supplements In Salmon Salad Surprise

If you have the Osteoporosis Reversal Program, then you are familiar with the list all of Foundation Supplements and their recommended dosages for optimal bone support. Amazingly, all the supplements are found in the above salad, and here they are:

1. Silicon is in the Romaine lettuce, cucumbers, and spinach. This trace mineral affects collagen turnover and works with calcium in the process of bone mineralization.
2. Magnesium, found in spinach, has an enormous number of roles in the body. It acts in synergy with calcium in building bone, and it also regulates the parathyroid gland (the primary organ that controls bone mineralization).
3. Manganese is found in the spinach and strawberries in this salad. Your body needs manganese to synthesize connective tissue within bone and cartilage. Manganese is one of a trio of minerals that make up superoxide dismutase, an enzymatic system that acts as an antioxidant in the body.
4. Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin that works with another fat-soluble vitamin, Vitamin D, to regulate osteoblast production. Vitamin K comes in two types: phylloquinones (K1, found in plants) and menaquinones (K2, manufactured by intestinal flora). You’ll find Vitamin K in this salad’s spinach and parsley.
5. Vitamin C is both an antioxidant and a vitamin, and the salmon salad’s cantaloupe and parsley are chock-full of it, and so are the strawberries. Vitamin C helps maintain bones and cartilage, and protects the body against the ravages of free radical damage.
6. Boron is another trace mineral with important roles in metabolism and Vitamin D activity. It actually decreases the amount of calcium and magnesium excreted from the body. The avocado and almonds in this salad contain boron.
7. B-Complex Vitamins are also found in avocado. B12 in particular is implicated in bone health – a 2005 study found low B12 levels associated with increased fracture rates.¹ B12 has many other roles in the body, too, including the manufacture of blood cells and the repair of DNA.
8. Copper is in the sunflower seeds and almonds that give this salad a nice crunch. Copper works with zinc and manganese to form superoxide dismutase, as mentioned earlier. Copper is actually found in every tissue of the body, and that, of course, includes bones.
9. Zinc is the third part of the enzymatic trio. This trace mineral works to regulate bone turnover. It is also necessary for alkaline phosphatase, an enzyme involved in bone mineralization, to function properly. In this recipe, zinc is found in the almonds.
10. Calcium is “the” mineral that everyone associates with bone health. It is certainly important, and the almonds in the Salmon Salad add a plant-based calcium boost.
11. Vitamin D is hard to find in foods. But salmon contains it. Vitamin D, also known as cholecalciferol, is crucial for building and rejuvenating bone, and it helps regulate calcium levels.

Save Our Bones Is About Putting You In Charge Of Your Bone Health

I created the Osteoporosis Reversal Program and its companion recipe book Bone Appétit to put you in control of your bone health. And by showing you the tools you need to create your own bone-rejuvenating meals, you’ll know exactly how to “feed” your bones.

The Program and Bone Appétit are like roadmaps toward healthy bones and the reversal of osteopenia and osteoporosis. Of course, you can still eat out while on the Program. But preparing bone-renewing meals at home is a cinch with Bone Appétit, so you’ll never feel that cooking for your bones is a burden.

In fact, one of my favorite features of this colorful cookbook is the Quick Picks. They are super-fast recipes that can be prepared in 20 minutes or less, and you’ll find them at the end of every section, from main dishes to desserts.

And to give you as many tools as possible to make your journey to bone health fun, interesting, and even more effective, Bone Appétit includes three bonuses: Calcilicious, a collection of extra calcium-rich recipes; the 30 Day Meal Planner to help you plan a month of bone-renewing meals; and Blender Magic, a delicious and nutritious collection of bone-building smoothie recipes.

I’d love for you to have everything you need to have a wonderful, joyous journey to healthier bones. So if you didn’t get it yet, I invite you to check out Bone Appétit and discover how easy preparing a bone-healthy diet can be.

Till next time,
