Vegetarian, lots of fat free milk, and water. Make sure you take pre-natal vitamins. You should eat healthy, you don't need to eat extra food, just enough that you are satisfied.

None. \nSimple foods--whole brown rice, for example, or veggies and the like are recommended. Very little, if any, products containing refined sugars should be eaten. No products containing white flour--the stuff is garbage.\nAnd of course, regular exercise.\nI could go on and on...

Eat right, stay away from foods with high cholesterol and frozen/canned food. Maintain the balance of your daily meals

Desertchica is the only 'correct' answer here.  Note: you can also take your vitamins 'with' your meals.

That is what your mother says so you won't eat too much chocolate.  Your bones will have no effect from eating chocolate.

Lean protein (skinless poultry and fish), plus healthy fats and salad, fruit and vegetables are heart-healthy. Avoiding simple sugars, white flour, juices and alcohol helps lower triglycerides. Adding aerobic exercise daily helps lower cholesterol and keeps your weight down

calcium is mainly used to strengthen your bones so when you get older theres a less chance that you get osteoporosis

I had osteoporosis in my spine and right hip. I had no idea until I had a bone density scan at age 58. I had taken HRT for 10 years to help prevent osteo. I started taking Fosamax (there is now Actonel, and Boniva) and my osteo has greatly improved. I know longer have osteoporosis I have osteopina which is where it starts. I also take calcium with vitamin D along with the Fosomax. I am 65 now and feel more confident that I won't break bones with simple movements. I will continue taking a bone building drug to prevent bone loss again. The very first thing to do is see your doctor for a BDS. Osteoporosis causes no pain unless you fracture something. The worse being vertebrae fractures which will cause collapse of the spinal column, pain, and losing height. Good luck and head to your doctor...

Calcium food.. e.g. Milk\n\nAnd don't forget to have good sleep (min 8 hours) as the growth hormone is generated during sleeping...

Don't eat junk food (McDonalds, etc.) because it will poison you.  Bread and grains should work.  Also, you should exercise your legs (ride a bicycle, for example) to gain some muscles.

no, not at all.  but with all tastey things, keep the consumption low, no more than two per day (16oz), because drinking soft drinks in excessive amounts has been shown to decrease the absorption of calcium into bones, which could eventually lead to osteoporosis.  also, an excessive intake of sugar is never good for anyone.  i stick to the one soda a day rule, but its ok to cheat and have two.

Eat high fiber, ZERO FAT (or as little as absolutely possible). Fruits, vegetables, rice, chicken, turkey, etc. No red meat or pork. As little dairy as possible.

Calcium and Vitamin D are essential for strong bone growth, and milk is an excellent source of both.  But if you don't drink milk and are still obtaining vitamins and minerals from other sources with good nutrition, you will still be healthy and able to grow to your full potential.

1) What age?\n2) Pregnant?  Teen?  Middle-age?\n\nThese things all matter.\nIn the end, here are the basics:\nEat pleanty of fresh fruits and vegetables, especially the leafy green ones.  You need lots of iron and calcium.  Remember that you will have a monthly cycle, and that will cause you to lose blood.  You need to replace the iron you lost, not to mention the other nutrients.\n\nDon't forget to exercise.  If you are young, and you exercise and take in enough calcium, you won't have to worry about osteoporosis later.  Trust me, it is worth it to be preventative now.\n\nGood luck!
