Nutritional counseling based on nutritional analysis
Nutritional recommendations according to a mixed diet taking into account gender and age.
Observance of the following special nutritional recommendations:
Calcium-rich (1,000 mg calcium / day) diet: fish, fresh vegetables, dairy and whole grains and nuts are beneficial for bone formation.
Vitamin D-rich diet (supplementation with 800-1,000 IU of vitamin D3 required, as no adequate intake of vitamin D from food is possible!).
Avoidance of phosphate-containing drinking and nutrients (eg cola drinks, various sausages and meat products).
Note that for optimal bone metabolism must be fed less acid-forming foods and instead more base-donating foods.
Selection of appropriate foods based on the nutritional analysis
