It is never too late or too early to start taking care of your bone health.
Bones play many roles in the body - they provide structural support for our body, protect our vital organs, and facilitate body movement.7
But the good news is that there are ways to help prevent severe bone loss as we age. For most people, proper nutrition and regular exercise may slow down bone loss.1 ● Small fish like dilis and sardines, as well as seafood like shrimps, mussels, bangus , and hasa-hasa are also rich in calcium.● For calcium to be absorbed by the bones, we also need Vitamin D.8
● Healthy sources of protein include dairy products, fish, poultry, legumes, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and some vegetables such as corn, broccoli, and asparagus.5● Health professionals recommend a daily protein intake of at least 0.36 grams per pound of body weight . For example, if you weigh 120 pounds, this translates to 43 grams of protein per day, while someone weighing 150 pounds should aim for around 54 grams a day.
