Recommended Ways to Strengthen Your Bones

CAMBRIDGE , MASSACHUSETTS —A recent study conducted at Harvard University and published in The Community Voice found different ways that help strengthen your bones as you age.

The researchers analyzed previous studies that looked at health benefits associated with different exercise activities as well as different types of foods. They specifically focused on bone health and strength.

The team found that weight-bearing exercises are overall better for your bone health and strength. This is because the force of the activity stimulates your bones, which causes their density to increase. Weight-bearing activities include jogging, walking, jumping, climbing stairs, and dancing.

In addition, the researchers found that the following foods also help promote bone health and strength:

Kale
Collard greens and cabbage
Yogurt
Broccoli

If you are interested in keeping your bones strong and healthy you might want to consider staying active and adding some of these foods to your daily diet.


Have a great day.
