How to keep your bones healthy naturally

Keep your bones healthy throughout your life by taking adequate amounts of calcium, vitamin D, and regular exercise.

Non-supplemental sources of calcium include low-fat dairy products, dark green leafy vegetables, and tofu. If you live in high altitudes, or if you avoid the sun entirely because of the risk of skin cancer, or if you use sunblock/sunscreen regularly Vitamin D3 supplement is a way to go. While any exercise can help you build strong bones and slow bone loss, weight-bearing exercise is more effective against osteoporosis. Weight-bearing exercise is any activity you do on your feet that works your bones and muscles against gravity.
