Spinach
Spinach is an intense green vegetable for your bone health. It can provide 181% of recommended daily value for vitamin K. Only 1 cup of spinach is a rich source of vitamin K.

Orange Juice
Orange Juice is an important nutrient for muscles and bones, and is high in vitamin D and vitamin C. Vitamin D helps body absorb calcium, which is necessary to protect strong bones.
Vitamin D deficiency can cause soft, thin and fragile bones. This can lead to rickets in children and osteoporosis in adults.
In a 2003 study published in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, it was reported that when orange juice was supplemented with vitamin D supplementation, it was effective in increasing vitamin D levels in body, thus helping to prevent osteomalacia and osteoporosis in adults.
Cucumber Juice
It is a rich source of vitamin A, B vitamins, vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium.
Collectively, these minerals not only moisturize your body, but also contribute to stronger bones. Carbohydrates in cucumber and vitamin B help to convert food into glucose, which gives you energy.
Cucumber is quite alkaline in nature and helps to regulate your body’s pH levels. It also contains silica which helps grow and strengthen connective tissues.
When consumed with orange juice rich in vitamin C, cucumber can help you by pulling uric acid levels out of your body and thus preventing or reducing pain of gout or arthritis.
According to a 2016 study published in Journal of Aging Research and Clinical Practice, cucumber assures your overall health by helping to retain water in cells and connective tissues.
Green Apple
This delicious fruit is an excellent source of nutrients to support bone health. Green apple contains a flavonoid called phloridzin, which can reduce risk of osteoporosis by reducing markers of inflammation and increasing bone density.
In addition, vitamin C is essential for production of collagen that protects muscles, blood vessels, bones and cartilage. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds in apple help to increase bone density and strength.
Ginger Juice
Ginger Juice is known to increase bone health and alleviate joint pain. It has a unique organic compound known as gingerol, which has strong anti-inflammatory properties.
Gingerol plays an important role in suppressing inflammatory compounds, such as cytokines, even before they begin to affect bones.
