This
week's health tip is on bone
health.
Did you know that your peak
bone building years are from
when you are a teenager until
your early 30�s? After that
you slowly lose or maintain
your bone density.
So while you are young, eat
plenty of calcium rich foods
like broccoli, tofu, kidney
beans and other greens. Also
get plenty of weight bearing
exercise and take your vitamin
D as this vitamin will keep
your calcium levels high.
When you
are past the peak bone
building years, following the
same will help optimize
maintenance of bone density. |
