Health Tip: Strengthen Your Bones
Get enough dietary calcium
Thursday, April 18, 2013
The Harvard School of Public Health offers these suggestions for building stronger, healthier bones:
- Eat a variety of calcium-rich foods, including more than just dairy. Broccoli and leafy green vegetables, tofu and beans are rich sources of calcium.
- Get plenty of vitamin D, and take a supplement if you're not getting enough from natural sunlight and food sources.
- Exercise regularly, engaging in weight-bearing exercises such as jogging or walking.
- Watch your intake of vitamin A, as it can weaken bones.
