Bone Crushing Facts: Which bone did you break⁉️
💪 How do you strengthen bones and prevent fractures - FOR LIFE? As we age, our bones naturally lose density, but there's plenty we can do to keep our skeleton sturdy and prevent #osteoporosis (bone thinning):
1️⃣ Get moving! Weight-bearing exercises like walking, jogging, dancing, and strength training put healthy stress on bones, stimulating them to grow stronger - aim for at least 30 min of activity each day
2️⃣ Calcium is key - a building block of bones found in dairy products, leafy greens, and fortified foods are great sources
3️⃣ Vitamin D ☀️ helps your body absorb calcium for #healthybones - Get some sunshine (safely!), eat fatty fish, egg yolks, or consider supplement (w/ your doctor's guidance)
4️⃣ Say no to smoking (limit alcohol) - Both can interfere with bone formation + increase #fracture risk
5️⃣ Maintain a healthy weight - being underweight or losing weight rapidly can weaken bones #OsteoporosisPrevention
6️⃣ Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, veggies, and lean protein to provide a range of bone-supporting nutrients
7️⃣ Consider bone density testing, esp if you're at higher risk (women, older adults, those with a family hx)
8️⃣ Talk to your doctor about medications that may affect bone health #StrongBones
9️⃣ Balance training helps prevent falls, a major cause of fractures in older adults #FallPrevention
🔟 Start early - Building strong bones in youth/early adulthood gives you a headstart on lifelong #bonehealth

It's never too late to start caring for your bones. Small changes today can lead to stronger bones tomorrow.
