Bone density peaks at around age 30. If you don’t put stress across your bones in the form of activities like resistance training, the bones will get weaker with time.
🦴🚨 Once you lose bone density, it’s very difficult to regain it. The weaker your bones are, the more likely they are to fracture.
💪 The best ways to help keep bones strong are as follows:
1.) Consuming calcium-rich foods (e.g. milk, yogurt, almonds) 🥛
2.) Consuming foods with vitamin D like salmon or cheese (can also get vitamin D from sunlight) 🍣
3.) Weight-bearing exercises, especially resistance training (e.g. squats) and jumping-type activities (e.g. drop jump), which help strengthen bone via Wolff’s law (states that bones become stronger over time with increased stress placed upon them) 💪
4.) Supplements (generally only needed if inadequate dietary intake): calcium / vitamin D, magnesium (which helps vitamin D work), collagen peptides (have been shown in multiple studies to help with osteoporosis). 💊...
