Nutrition and Bone HealthByJaime Rose Chambers13 October 2022Nutrition is a key component to bone health because certain nutrients form the structure of bone and play a role in bone development.

This occurs over time, when the body uses more calcium that it’s able to replace. Osteoporosis can be a debilitating disease with high mortality rates. Making sure to eat foods every day that meet specific nutrients needs, such as calcium, vitamin D and protein, can help to prevent brittle bones later in life.
