7. Figs

If you are looking for more foods that will strengthen your bones and joints, go for a couple of figs per day. Five medium-sized raw figs pack around 90 milligrams of calcium, magnesium, and potassium that help you maintain a healthy skeletal system.

Californians are lucky to have them from summer to fall, but in other states, you can easily find them dried all year round. Dried figs are also excellent; a half-cup of dried figs has 121 milligrams of calcium.

8. Tofu

For those who are lactose intolerant or prefer vegetarian choices, tofu is an excellent option. Tofu is one of those great foods that helps you strengthen your joints and bones because only half a cup of tofu has the daily dose of calcium your body needs per day.

Including tofu in your diet can provide extra advantages for the development of strong bones. Studies indicate that soy, which is high in isoflavones and found in tofu, may help protect women against bone damage after menopause.

Easy to cook, tofu is great in salads, with fish or other vegetables. Tofu combined with spaghetti is also a tasty idea for a nutritional dinner.

      Eat mostly plants and animals that eat plants. No predators or bottom-feeders.

      You can focus your daily diet on a variety of colors of vegetables, real fruit is great vs fruit juice, brown rice is better than white rice (add fiber, slow digestion), do your best to limit processed foods, go for a 20-30 min walk most days, its all about small changes in your diet over time that can help you sustain positive change in your health.
