    One of the foods that help to make your bones stronger are large amounts of dark green leafy vegetables (kale, collard greens, spinach, cilantro, parsley). Best way to consume them is as green smoothies. They can also be steamed or boiled, but some of the nutrients are lost as a result of exposure to high temperature.
