7.Prevention Diet
Calcium and vitamin D are both key for bone health. You need vitamin D to help you absorb calcium. You may be able to get some of it from the sun, but you’ll also need to eat food rich in vitamin D. Many people also need a supplement. Calcium-rich foods include low-fat dairy, leafy greens, salmon or sardines with bones, soy, and calcium-fortified cereals or orange juice.
8.Prevention: Build Strength
Exercise, especially weight-bearing moves, keeps bones strong as you age. Walking counts! Aim for 30 minutes of physical activity 5 days a week, or 2.5 hours overall. Your muscles will also benefit, and you’ll be better able to prevent falls.
