Maintain Strong Bones After Age 40

Get Enough Calcium 

Aim for 1,000–1,200 mg of calcium daily through dairy, greens, or fortified foods.

Vitamin D Intake

Ensure adequate vitamin D (600–800 IU/day) from sunlight or supplements for calcium absorption.

Avoid Smoking 

Smoking weakens bones and increases fracture risk, so quit for bone health.

Consume Bone-Boosting Foods 

Include magnesium, potassium, and omega-3-rich foods like nuts, seeds, and fish.

Strengthen Muscles 

Incorporate resistance exercises like weight lifting or yoga to build muscle strength.

Get Enough Sleep 

Getting quality sleep helps repair, rebuild, and promote overall bone growth.

Bone Density Test 

After 40, get bone density tests to check osteoporosis and adjust lifestyle.

Hydration 

Drink plenty of water to support fluid balance and nutrient absorption for bones.
