80 20 bone health rule

Today I want to tell you about a man named Vilfredo Pareto. He’s the Italian economist credited with coming up with something called…

“The Pareto Principle”

It all started when he observed that just 20% of the pea pods in his garden grew 80% of the peas. Kind of surprising if you think about it.

As it turns out, this 80/20 split can be found again, and again and again.

An example is how 20% of the people in the world own 80% of the land. You can find examples of this all over the place.

But What Does This Have to do With Bone Health?

Well the Pareto Principle applies to healthy bones as well. In fact, I call it the 80/20 Bone Health Rule:

The 80/20 Bone Health Rule states that 80% of the foods you eat should be alkalizing foods and just 20% should be acidifying foods.

In fact, following this 80/20 rule is on my list of one of the top five things you can do for your bone health.

With this ratio you can be sure that your bones will get the nutrition they need for optimal health. Remember, it’s not so much about which foods you eat, the important thing is…

The Ratio of the Foods You Eat

Now I don’t know about you, but keeping track of this probably isn’t that practical for the average person with a busy life.

After all, just having time to eat is difficult enough!

That’s why I built the 80/20 Bone Health Rule INTO to the Osteoporosis Reversal Program.

The Osteoporosis Reversal Program tells you exactly what to eat to maintain this ratio, without having to get out your calculator. Plus it comes with handy “Success Sheets” that make it even easier… and your bones will thank you!
