How Can You Build and Protect Bone Density at Every Age?
Bone is living tissue that adapts to the loads you place on it. Peak bone accrual happens before 20 to 30, then loss accelerates with menopause in women and later in men. The best defense combines earlier screening, high-force resistance training, adequate protein and minerals, and targeted medications when needed. Bedrest or long sedentary stretches require a plan to protect bone.
