BUILDING STRONG BONES IN KIDS

Here are some simple yet effective ways for parents to make sure children develop a sturdy skeletal system from an early age.
BUILDING STRONG BONES IN KIDS

As parents, we strive to give our children the best start in life. We teach them to eat their vegetables, brush their teeth and get a good night's sleep. But there's one foundational aspect of their health that might not always be on our radar - their bone health.

A SOLID FOUNDATION

It can be easy to overlook the importance of bones, as they do all their work behind the scenes. However, our skeletons form the framework of our bodies, providing structure, support and protection for vital organs. Just like a sturdy house needs a solid foundation, strong bones are essential for your child's growth and development. From running and jumping, to simply sitting up straight, every movement relies on a healthy skeletal system. Breaks, fractures and general ageing are when this really starts to matter, as those who have developed robustly retain a huge health advantage. We build much of our bone density during childhood and the teenage years, so giving kids the gift of strong bones is by far the best path towards lifelong bone health. So, what can parents do to ensure that children's bones are as strong as can be? Let's dive in!

CALCIUM-RICH FOODS

Calcium is a cornerstone of bone health and helping little ones get an adequate intake is very important. Dairy products like milk, cheese and yoghurt are well-known sources of calcium, but there are plenty of other options for those who are lactose intolerant or prefer plantbased alternatives. Leafy greens such as kale and spinach, fortified cereals, tofu, almonds, almond butter and sardines are all excellent sources of calcium.
