We need nutrients to keep our bones healthy. Sometimes, when nutrients from food aren't enough, dietary supplements are needed. This section will cover what nutrients can help keep your bones strong.
Exercise can help improve bone strength. It also keeps our muscles strong and flexible which can help maintain an active lifestyle and decrease the likelihood of falls. This section will discuss why exercise should be part of your routine.
