Why the difference of the condition of the bone mass of our ancestors when the DNA is the same?
 
1) MOVEMENT. The body can have optimal levels of calcium but to get to the bones, muscles need to move and contract, which our ancestors were doing very often , unlike today, where comfort keeps us staying in the same position most of the day ( sitting in front of a computer, in the car, on the couch watching TV , ….) from an early age .
Thus at the age of 40 or 50 years can start to appear osteoporosis.
Get used to move more often, using the stairs instead of the elevator, walking short distances instead of using the car, do stretches when you have to stay long time in the same position, and take every possible moment to prevent diseases that can be produced by the lack of movement.
 
2 ) VITAMIN D. The ancestors also had adequate levels of vitamin D in the body, due to sun exposure for their daily activities. The body needs sun exposure for at least 15 minutes per day to get vitamin D.
 
3 ) NUTRITION. Today it is very difficult to find products that really can nourish just as happened long time ago. This is due to the presence of contaminants in the environment, transgenic seeds, refined foods (“cleansed ” of all its nutrients, such as white flour and sugar ). Excess sugar and salt that is usually added ” to have taste ” (natural foods HAVE flavor, but the mayority of people have grown accustomed to  add too much salt or sugar and have lost the ability to capture the real flavors of natural food), and all dyes, thickeners, preservatives, glutamates … etc . that are usually added to create textures, colors and flavors that can be pleasant and timeless but eventually apart from not nourish, can weaken more and more the digestive system which has to work (processing harmful food ) without receiving the compensation that it deserve ( the real nutrients).
Nowadays in case of loss of calcium we often consume dairy product,without thinking that if nature had intended that humans need  milk all through their life, mothers should breastfeed for the entire lifetime!
Cow’s milk contains many more proteins than human’s milk, that why a calf will grow to 200 kg in a year, in addition in cow’s milk can be found fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides contained in their food, substances to prevent infections to breasts by having to produce so much milk each day …
 
What other foods contain calcium that can benefit my bones ?
Nuts (walnuts , almonds , hazelnuts , seeds ), which our ancestors ate a lot, as evidenced by the grooves of the teeth found in archaeological digs, broccoli, cabbage , kale , sweet potatoes , carrots , winter squash, legumes (lentils, chickpeas , white beans, red or black ), whole grains (rice, wheat , quinoa , amaranth ), fruit (oranges , dried figs , raisins , nuts ), shellfish (shrimp , prawns), sardines ,sea bass, sea vegetables(kombu, nori, wakame, agar).
  
It’s recommended to reduce or eliminate sugar, red meat, salt,  refined grains, alcohol and soda pop.
 
According to Chinese medicine the bones are controoled by ​​the kidneys , and the period of their greatest height is the period in which they gather and eat many of the foods described.

In addition, with the help of acupuncture and herbs can strengthen the kidney through specific points of the body, helping further to eradicate pain, increase bone density and nourish the brain.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM ) can help you lose weight because it considers the human body as an organic whole that needs to be kept in balance in order to fully enjoy life and when this balance is missing, disease appears, in this case weight gain and / or obesity.


With acupuncture, for example, you can manage to find and maintain the balance of the person as the key to health: food balance, balance between rest and physical activity, emotional balance, etc. . The inadequacies or excesses in any area of ​​our life will lead to an imbalance and eventually to disease. Identify the cause of it will be important to find solutions that help us avoid, diminish or prevent its recurrence.
Today you can find all kinds of diets and “miracle” products that can make you lose many kilos in a short time , damaging the digestive system , turning weaker and possibly causing damage to other organs or in many cases producing yo-yo effect , sagging skin, dry or oily , toxins ….
Our body is like an extraordinary machine that needs to function perfectly a number of nutrient food that nature, in her wisdom, divided by season, climate and location. In places like Mexico or Beijing you can find very spicy flavors, for example: due to heat, this flavor helps open the pores of the skin to sweat and thus cool the body.

In the great deserts, on the other hand, although it can get very hot, it is extremely dry, there grow dates, which are very sweet. This flavor in the digestive system produce liquids, allowing the body to get hydrated.

For this reasons the best way to keep our body in perfect conditions is to eat what our entourage gives us, and in case of disease or imbalance is possible to treat it according to the diagnostic, introducing or changing certain food that could damage a condition and with the aid of acupuncture, cupping, and herbs…..depending on the personal need.
To conclude I would like to reflect on the fact that in our society there is a tendency to care more for material things (that can be changed or fixed) that the body itself, which is one, for all our life and only ours is the duty to care for it.
