When did you last chew on some bones?

[Guest guest]

Our diets may include some bones if we eat sardines whole or chew on

shrimp legs, or chicken ribs and bones from a home-made soup.

However, people who eat steaks, large fish, chicken breasts, or

vegetarian diets don't have this source of cartilage and bone that may

help to prevent bone loss.

Cartilage contains glucosamine, and the shells of crustaceans contain

chondroitin. Both of these substances are present in our joints.

Chewing on bones is not only entertaining, it is a low-calorie way to

get some useful nutrients. Just don't break a tooth by being too

agressive!

That's my thought for the day. It was inspired by reading about

osteoporosis suffered by some agressive CRoners.
