Healthy bones lead to healthy lives and this is the formula for a happy life. When someone suffers a fracture or experiences any other bone-related condition, his/her life changes a bit. For example, if a fracture occurs in the leg, the person becomes unable to perform daily activities as he/she will require help from someone else.
Fractures could occur due to one or two reasons, trauma or disease resulting in weakening of bones. When we talk about adults, traumatic injuries are the main reason for fractures whereas, in the elderly, it is a disease like osteoporosis. In serious fracture cases, surgery is required for the fixation and it may involve the use of Orthopedic Implants. Now, we must say that traumatic injuries may not be completely in our control, but we can surely avoid bone-related conditions. In this post, we will discuss some ways to keep your bones strong.

How to Keep Your Bones Strong?
Take calcium-rich diet
Calcium provides strength to the bones and it is seen that people with low calcium levels have weak bones. Besides making bones strong, calcium also plays a good part in the reconstruction process of bones. Thus, eating calcium-rich food will help you maintain good bone density along with optimum calcium levels in the body.
Consume foods having vitamin D
If you know, vitamin D is required for the absorption of calcium in the body thus, if low levels of vitamin D are there in the body, the optimum amount of calcium will not be absorbed. Milk is a good source of vitamin D, hence, drinking milk regularly will be a good thing. Besides this, exposure to the sun for 10-15 minutes will also help you absorb vitamin D naturally.
Physical activity is a must
Not only consumption of food, but optimum physical activity is also must to keep bones strong & healthy. Doing exercise regularly and other types of physical activities are known to ensure good bone strength and assist in its reconstruction.
Avoid smoking and alcohol
Smoking plays an important role in making bones weak and that is why people who smoke regularly are more prone to getting bone-related diseases and fractures. Similar is the case with alcohol, thus, if you want to keep your bones strong and healthy, avoid smoking and alcohol.
Check drug interactions
Some drugs are known to decrease the absorption of calcium in the body. So, if you experience a weakening in your bones and you are taking any prescription drugs regularly, it is advised to consult a physician to find out whether those drugs are the reason or not.
Eat nuts, beans, and leafy vegetables
All these are good sources of calcium and protein, thus, increasing their consumption could be a great thing to improve bone health and ensure their optimum strength. Besides this, if you love seafood, then salmon is a great source of calcium.
Fractures are annoying and smartness always lies in preventing them rather than treating them. This is because they could be serious and their treatment may require surgery & hospitalization.
