Natural Ways to Build Healthy Bones

Eat Lots of Vegetables

Vegetable-rich diets promote strong bones in children and young adults and elderly women.

Perform Strength Training

Weight-bearing can improve bone production and health in older adults, especially those with low bone density.

Consume Enough Protein

High protein consumption protects bone health with age and weight loss, but low protein intake causes bone loss.

Eat High-Calcium Foods

Get Plenty of Vitamin D

Obtaining enough vitamin D and K2 from food or supplements may assist bone health.
