• Fishes and eggs: Oily fishes like salmon and sardines and eggs help in increasing bone density as they are rich in magnesium which helps the body absorb calcium.

• Beans: Beans like pinto, red and kidney are rich in calcium and magnesium too.

• Soybeans and tofu are also good options when it comes to the health of the bones, especially for vegans.

Besides a healthy diet, exercise also helps in strengthening bones. Exercises like weight-bearing and resistance not only help in muscle building but, also help in making bones strong. Training that is given in martial arts are highly focused on making bones strong.
