Bone Health
We need to pay attention to our bone health as we age. It's never too early to start. Maintaining bone density is important when we reach 30 years and then, beyond.
Calcium is important but so are other supplements such as vitamin D, K, and magnesium. Getting enough protein daily is so important as well.
Bone-Boosting Foods You Need for Bone Health:
Leafy Greens: Kale, spinach, and collards are rich in calcium and vitamin K, which supports bone mineralization.
Sardines and Salmon: These fatty fish provide calcium and vitamin D, plus omega-3s that reduce bone inflammation.
Nuts and Seeds: Almonds and pumpkin seeds supply magnesium and healthy fats that aid bone formation.
Fortified Foods: Plant milks and cereals often have added calcium and vitamin D to help fill the gaps.
Lifting weights, and weight-bearing activities such as brisk walking, hiking, climbing stairs, dancing, jumping rope are some activities that will help with bone strength.
