Last week I broke a bone in my foot. Now I want to make sure I do everything I can to help regrowing my bone. I've been trying to drink at least one cup of soy milk per day, but I know that the calcium is soy milk is not very bioavailable (less than 20%, making it less bioavailable than cow milk, which lies around 21-22%). So what else can I do? I do try to get some sun at the weekend (living in Florida, that's not difficult), but I really want to know what else I can do to help myself.
I also got comments from two people that my bone probably broke easier due to my veganism. In principle I consider this to be a rather idiotic statement, as I consume about as much soymilk as I used to consume cow's milk prior to going vegan. On the other hand, I used to eat a lot of cheese, so does anyone think that my vegann diet could have helped weaken my bones? Like I say, I doubt it, but I do want to make sure I'm covering my bases here, and correcting any nutrition mistakes I am currently making!
Thanks.
