Build Up Your Bones

The following is taken from my 2008 Women's Monthly Planner for July 2008. It's from last year, but still good info. The planner is published by The Positive Line.

The stronger your bones, the less chance of bone loss and fractures later in life. Regular weight-bearing exercises (e.g. walking, dancing) and lifting small hand-held weights are great bone strengtheners. Equally vital is getting enough calcium. Your best food sources include low-fat dairy; green, leafy vegetables; soybeans; and salmon. Talk to your healthcare practitioner about calcium and Vitamin D supplements.
