Bone & Joint Health After 60: Staying Strong and Flexible

Bone & Joint Health After 60: Staying Strong and Flexible

Intro:
Bone loss and joint stiffness don’t have to be inevitable. A Nutrients (2019) study by Weaver et al. found that proper intake of calcium, vitamin D, and regular weight-bearing exercise helps maintain bone density and reduce fracture risk.

Body:
✔️ Eat for strong bones: Dairy, leafy greens, fortified foods, or a supplement if needed.
✔️ Stay moving: Low-impact activities like walking, yoga, or tai chi support flexibility and balance.
✔️ Protect your joints: Maintain a healthy weight to reduce stress on knees and hips.
✔️ Tip: Gentle stretching before and after activity helps!

Closing:
Your bones and joints will thank you for every step and stretch you take.
