Build Healthy Bones
Bones play many key roles in the body, providing structure, protecting organs, anchoring muscles & storing calcium. Hence, it is important to build strong & healthy bones during childhood at adolescence.
Bones change continuously – New bone is made & old bone is broken down. At a younger age, the body makes new bone faster than it breaks down old bone as the bone mass increases. Most people reach their peak bone mass around age 30. After that, bone remodeling continues, but you lose slightly more bone mass than you gain.
Â
What affects bones?  Inadequate calcium and iron in the diet, low physical activity, family history,
hormone levels, or certain medications. Lack of calcium in the diet can lead to fragile, brittle bones that are more prone to fractures and disease. Remember, the body needs Vitamin D to absorb calcium.
