Drink safe water and eat good food to prevent creaky bones and achy joints

Fluorosis is a bone disease that is caused by a high consumption of fluoride. Most think that it is a direct result of drinking water with high fluoride content alone but it isn’t so. Nutrition plays an  important role in the onset of this disease. Including vitamin C and calcium in our diets as well as modifying cooking methods to lessen the absorption of fluoride from cooking water are crucial to preventing fluorosis.

The IWMI Tata meet in November 2012 brought together a host of speakers who highlighted the importance of this subject and the lack of awareness about it in India today.
