A healthy skeletal system with strong bones is essential to overall health and quality of life
Strong bones support us, are the framework for our muscles, and allow us to move
Bones are a storehouse for vital minerals
Strong bones protect our heart, lungs, brain and other organs
Bone healthy actions should begin in childhood and continue throughout your lifetime. However, it's never too late to take action to promote healthy bones.
Bone healthy actions are the keys to enable you to build and maintain strong bones. These include:
eating a well-balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D;
limiting alcohol intake;
participating in regular exercise;
taking safety precautions to protect your bones and prevent falls;
maintaining normal hormonal balance in premenopausal women;
avoiding excessive dieting and excessive thinness; and
talking to a medical professional about promoting healthy bones
