7. Play ball
If you’re a ball sports enthusiast, you should definitely get more active! Instead of running or going to the gym, you could easily play golf or tennis. Both games are considered a weight-bearing activity that boosts bone health.
Sports medicine physician at Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush in Chicago, Julia Bruene, MD, says that it doesn’t really matter if you’re good or not; as long as you’re moving, your bones will thank you for that.
8. Eat balanced
Physical activity is essential for building stronger bones, but so is diet. Getting a variety of nuts, veggies, fruits, whole grains, seafood, and dairy is equally important. And yes, vitamin D is not the only vitamin you should get in order to fortify your frame. Magnesium, vitamin K, phosphorus, vitamin B6, and B12 are also important.
Avocados, dark chocolate, turkey, kale, pumpkin seeds, pinto beans, clams, sardines, cauliflower, spinach, and eggs should be found on your plate weekly.
