Building Stronger Bones After SCI — One Simple Choice at a Time
Living with a spinal cord injury can sometimes make your bones feel weaker than they used to — and that’s not your fault. Your body is simply adjusting and healing in its own way. The good news? Small, everyday nutrition choices can make a real difference.
Try adding more calcium-rich foods like yogurt, milk, leafy greens, or even fortified plant-based options if you prefer them. Pair these with a little sunlight or vitamin D, which helps your body absorb all that calcium more effectively.
And don’t forget protein and healthy fats — they help keep your bones, muscles, and energy levels strong.
You don’t need a perfect diet. Just gentle, consistent steps. Even small changes today can help protect your bones and support a healthier, stronger tomorrow.
✨ You’re doing better than you think — keep going.
