Nourish your bones and joints with wholesome plant foods

For women past 40, health issues like osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and muscle weakness often become a growing concern.

Many people turn to common approaches such as:

  1. Drinking cow’s milk
  2. Taking calcium pills
  3. Taking glucosamine supplements
  4. Consuming cartilage dishes or collagen drinks

However, these are not ideal nor truly healthy solutions for long-term bone and muscle care. In fact, they may bring hidden harm:

  • Cow’s milk – can actually cause calcium to leach from the bones and increase osteoporosis risk. It also contributes to chronic inflammation.
  • Calcium pills – may raise the risk of heart disease, kidney stones, and colon polyps.
  • Glucosamine pills – could increase insulin resistance and heighten diabetes risk.
  • Collagen drinks/cartilage dishes – animal collagen or cartilage cannot directly replace or rebuild human collagen or cartilage.

That’s why it’s important for women to re-think bone and muscle health beyond these conventional methods — and explore safer, more effective approaches that truly support long-term strength and mobility.

In fact, mother nature already provides the essential nutrients needed to protect and strengthen our bones and muscles — through wholesome plant foods.

Here are some:

Wholesome Soy – naturally rich in protein and calcium, helping to strengthen both muscles and bones. 
Look at the below chart, in fact, soybean has more calcium compared to cows milk. 



Plant foods rich in glutamine – such as brown algae, alfalfa, ginger, spinach, parsley, acerola cherry, and cactus. Glutamine helps stimulate the body’s own production of glucosamine, which is then converted into glycosaminoglycans — the key building blocks of cartilage.

Black Goji Berries – packed with anthocyanins, which not only promote bone health but also support bone formation and help prevent osteoporosis.



To make these powerful plant foods easily accessible in daily life, NI Foods offers great convenience with:

  • SOYPRO – made from wholesome soy and Jilin ginseng.
  • GojiGarden Series – combining black goji berries with rose/ yuzu/ osmanthus.
  • GojiGarden Coffee – a unique blend of premium coffee beans with black goji berries.
  • G-ART - made of brown algae, alfalfa, ginger, spinach, parsley, acerola cherry, and cactus.

With the right nourishment from nature, women can safeguard their bones and muscles while staying healthy, strong, and active well beyond 40.

Nourishment during my Pregnancy Journey - I am going to be a mom!!

What should be the best nutrition for a mommy to be?

I have been doing some research also because I'm pregnant now. :)

The below are the list of basic nutrition required by a pregnant lady:

1. Folic Acid - important for cell division and baby's early brain and spinal cord development.

2. Protein - provides the building blocks for baby's growing muscles, tissues and organs.

3. Calcium - supports the development of baby's bones and teeth, while protecting mummy's own bone health.

4. Iron - needed to make haemoglobin and support the increased blood volume during pregnancy.

5. DHA Omega 3 - plays an important role in baby's brain and eye development.

6. Collagen - Collagen is an important structural protein found in skin, bones, cartilage, blood vessels and connective tissues. During pregnancy, the body undergoes tremendous changes and tissue expansion. Our body naturally makes collagen. Make sure give right nutrients eg natural antioxidants to let body self-produce collagen from within. 

7. Fiber -Support regular bowel movements, healthy gut microbiome, steadier blood glucose and healthy cholesterol levels

But here's something I learnt early:

Pregnancy nutrition isn't about finding ONE multivitamin that fixes everything.

A supplement is called a supplement for a reason. It should not replace the nutrition we get from our daily food.

🥬 Vegetables
🍓 Fruits and berries
🫘 Soy, beans
🌾 Whole grains
🥜 Nuts and seeds
🥑 A variety of wholesome plant foods

These foods don't provide just one isolated nutrient. They give us fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and many different phytonutrients working together as part of an overall nutritious diet.

I am very thankful that I learnt about Nutritional Immunology and was equipped with this knowledge early.

Instead of taking the nutrients from the vitamin pills, I choose to get the nutrients from wholesome plant food source. Thankfully, in E.Excel food, it provides quality convenience for me to nourish during my pregnancy!

Looking back at my earlier pregnancy (updated - 4 pregnancies in total in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019), 

I'm especially thankful that Nutritional Immunology equipped me with this knowledge early. ❤️

Pregnancy nutrition isn't simply about taking more supplements or finding one multivitamin that “covers everything.”

It's about understanding what our body needs, choosing wholesome food sources, looking at quality and safety, and giving both mummy and baby a strong nutritional foundation every single day. 

Don't just supplement. Nourish with knowledge.
