Dealing with Osteoporosis, the TCM way

TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) focuses a lot on daily health care, e.g. what to eat more and what to avoid, according to the person's specific condition.  

For those with osteoporosis, here are some TCM suggestions I summarized from my research:

Things to avoid/reduce:

- smoking
- alcolhol
- coffee
- sugar

Helpful foods

- Tofu products
- Bone soup with soy beans.  A slow cooker can make it easily.
- Fresh vegetables
- Fruit
- other foods with calcium

Suggested activities

- Go outdoors and get enough sunlight
- Mild physical exercises
