If you want to strengthen your bones, make this simple thing a part of your diet.They travel through the water, skin and body tissue, to hit the stones.

Philip Capes, 44, a freelance journalist from Berkhamstead, Hertfordshire, woke one-morning last year with agonizing pains in the left-hand side of his lower back.
His GP referred him to hospital, suggesting it might be a kidney stone, but the day before his hospital appointment he was in such excruciating pain he called an ambulance.
Mr. Capes says: ‘I was in sheer agony and thought it could be something very serious. But when I got to the hospital the pain eased and after an X-ray, the doctors diagnosed a kidney stone.’
