Strong bones aren’t just built in childhood, they’re supported throughout life.
As we age, maintaining bone health becomes increasingly important. Along with regular physical activity, a balanced diet that includes adequate calcium, vitamin D and protein can help support healthy bones. Foods such as dairy products (or fortified alternatives), leafy green vegetables, tofu, legumes, nuts and fish with edible bones can all play a role in a bone-friendly diet. (K24 Digital)
