What can we do to protect our bones?



Can you protect your bones?  Yes, according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, “You’re never too young or too old to improve the health of your bones…Now is the time to take action.”  We can do several things to improve our bone health.  The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends these behaviors:  take calcium and vitamin D daily, eat a healthy diet which includes calcium-rich foods, exercise and avoid smoking and limit alcohol to 2-3 drinks/day.   I will discuss these behaviors in more detail over the next few posts.  http://www.nof.org/learn/prevention
