Its Never Too Late To Build Your Bone Strength With Calcium!

Osteoperosis is a disease in which the bones can grow brittle, which can make them more prone to breaks and fractures. Thats why experts say make sure you get adequate calcium and vitamin D to help fight off osteoperosis.

"A lot of your bone is being laid down between the ages of 9 & 14, but its never too late to make sure you're taking in the amount of calcium you need, because calcium gives you the building blocks", says Judy Porter, nutritionist for OrthoIndy.

Your peak bone mass happens early in life, so its important to take in as much calcium as possible to counteract the loss of bone that happens as you age.

Porter also claims that anybody who wants to maintain their bone and joint health should consider taking Glucosamine & Chondroitin, which can help build cartilage and have some anti-inflammatory benefits as well. Porter also adds that Omega 3 fish oil is good for decreasing overall inflammation, particularly in the joints.
