BONE HEALTH AS WE AGE

Bone is an active tissue that makes up our skeletal system. It provides numerous functions, but as we age, our bones get less dense. Our peak bone density typically occurs in early adulthood, but it drops off after menopause in women and after age 70 in men. 

Healthy bones mean fewer fractures as we get older and help maintain our mobility. So, how do we maintain our bone health as we age? Let’s look at what you can do to keep your bones strong.
