Bone health: Tips to keep your bones healthy

Bones do a lot for your body. They provide structure, protect organs, anchor muscles and store calcium. While it's important to build strong, healthy bones during your childhood and teen years, you can take steps to protect bone health when you're an adult too. Why is bone health important? Bones change all the time. The body constantly makes new bone and breaks down old bone. This process is called remodeling. When you're young, new bone is made faster than old bone is broken down.

12 Natural Ways to Build
Healthy Bones

Building healthy bones is extremely important. Minerals are incorporated into your bones during childhood, adolescence and early adulthood. Once you reach 30 years of age, you have achieved peak bone mass. If not enough bone mass is created during this time or bone loss occurs later in life, you have an increased risk of developing fragile bones that break easily (1Trusted Source). Fortunately, many nutrition and lifestyle habits can help you build strong bones and maintain them as you age.

Osteoporosis -
Symptoms and causes

Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and brittle — so brittle that a fall or even mild stresses such as bending over or coughing can cause a break. Osteoporosis-related breaks most commonly occur in the hip, wrist or spine. Bone is living tissue that is constantly being broken down and replaced. Osteoporosis occurs when the creation of new bone doesn't keep up with the loss of old bone. Medicines, healthy diet and weight-bearing exercise can help prevent bone loss or strengthen already weak bones.

The 10 Best Supplements for Bone Health, According to a Dietitian

While most people focus on calcium for bone health, other nutrients such as vitamin D, vitamin K, magnesium, and zinc are equally important. When considering a supplement for bone health, it’s important to consider your diet, lifestyle, and any medical conditions to determine which supplement is right for you. Our registered dietitian interviewed other registered dietitians and a family medicine doctor, and considered ingredients, dosing, and in-house purity and potency testing, and value.
