Overview
Bone health is crucial for overall well-being, providing structure, protecting organs, and storing calcium. To prevent conditions like osteoporosis, which weakens bones and increases fracture risk, it's essential to maintain bone health throughout life.
Key factors include a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, regular weight-bearing exercises, and healthy lifestyle choices such as avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol. Calcium-rich foods like dairy, leafy greens, and fortified products, along with sun exposure or vitamin D supplements, support bone health. Regular physical activity, like walking and resistance training, helps build bone density and maintain strength as we age.
