Yes - >>> sardines and salmon bones = good. Not only for the calcium, but also for the omega.
Most of the other advice above is solid:
- Calcium/ Mg/ Vit D < these are the primary important minerals
- Zn and Boron are also good
- Vitamin K is important in maintaining bones (GO SPINACH)
- Fish oils will be useful AFTER the surgery (don't start for ~ 2 weeks as they interfere with normal blood clotting - which is not so good in surgery
).
- Don't OD on Vit C (which can be PRO-oxidant at high doses) and Vit A (mega doses are shown to negatively correlate with bone mass)
- Maintain a moderate protein intake with a higher potassium intake (prevents acidosis which can decrease bone formation)
- glucosamine and condrotin are more for joints, not so much bones... but they don't hurt. Just make sure you are not allergic to shell fish
MSM is also useful to decrease inflammation associated with joints.
- Krill oil OR green lip mussel oil is also good for joints (once again, not so much for the actual BONES)
- Silica / Horsetail supplements show SOME benefit (not a lot... but some)
- DHEA has shown benefit in females (post menopausal)
- Decrease things like Caffeine, Sodium, Alcohol and Smoke inhalation (if you smoke) as they all decrease healing and bone mass
- To maximise healing you also want to decrease cortisol levels <<< so good sleep, adequate recovery time etc etc is all important (things like Gingeng, Hops, passionflower can help with that)
- Then make sure you incorporate adequate rehab exercises ->> to strengthen the area (which will require a good physiotherapy program
).
