Maintaining strong bones is important at every stage of life. During childhood and adolescence, bones grow and strengthen, while as we age, bones can become weaker and more fragile. Women, specifically, have an increased risk of developing osteoporosis after menopause. Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones are more fragile and susceptible to fractures as bone density decreases. The decrease in estrogen after menopause is a main contributor to this, as this hormone helps protect bone density. Set yourself up for good long-term health by consuming foods for bone health daily.
