Keep Bones Healthy and Prevent Fractures

Lao Tzu, the Chinese philosopher, wrote, “He who knows that enough is enough, will always have enough.” But the Journal of Osteoporosis reports that many elderly people may not get enough calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin K2 to maintain strong bones. A fall or even less drastic events can break a brittle bone. Vitamin D increases the absorption of calcium and K2 directs calcium into bones. Dairy products, leafy greens, canned salmon, and fruits are good food sources. Daily exercise is equally important to maintain mobility and strength.
