Vegetables like broccoli, collard greens, kale, and turnip greens are great sources of calcium.i

chickpeas and white beans as they have higher calcium amounts than others.

Practicing healthy lifestyle habits is important for maintaining bone health, no matter your age. Eating balanced, nutritious meals, getting enough sleep, and staying active are all important parts of keeping our bodies functioning and healthy. Making sure we’re practicing healthy lifestyle habits is important for maintaining bone health.
Make sure your diet is rich in calcium and vitamin D, two essential nutrients to support bone strength. Low-fat dairy products are a great source of calcium, and egg yolks and saltwater fish are good sources of vitamin D. Look for foods enriched with these two nutrients for extra support. iv
When you exercise, your bones and muscles become stronger. Try strength-building and weight-bearing exercises like walking, climbing stairs, lifting weights, and dancing to build healthy bones. Make your goal 2.5 hours of moderate intensity physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity per week. v
