bone health education

Bone health education involves understanding how bones support our body, protect organs, and enable movement. It emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, regular weight-bearing exercise, and avoiding habits like smoking or excessive alcohol that weaken bones. Proper nutrition and activity help maintain bone density, reducing the risk of fractures and conditions like osteoporosis. Regular check-ups and bone density tests can identify early issues. Overall, maintaining good bone health is essential for mobility, independence, and quality of life throughout all stages of aging.
