YOUR 206-BONE FRAMEWORK performs really well for you 24/7/365, giving your body structure and the ability to move.
Caring for this internal scaffolding is even more important the older we get, since the density of our bones naturally decreases with age, making them more fragile and putting us at risk for injury.
Happily, a few things can help keep the skeleton strong. One is weight training, which you can learn more about on page 48. "It stimulates osteoblasts, specialized cells that support formation of new bone," explains Laura lu, R.D., a certified intuitive eating counselor in New York City. Hydration is another- getting enough water supports "a process whereby minerals work together to promote bone density and strength, and water lubricates joints to minimize wear and tear," lu adds. Finally, make room for the bone-friendly nutrients on these pages; they'll strengthen and support your skeleton.
