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.

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.
