(How to Take Care of Your Bones and Joints?)

As the Department of Health reminds us, taking care of our bones and joints is vital for a healthy and active life. Here are key tips to follow:

✅ 𝐄𝐚𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐜𝐢𝐮𝐦-𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬: Include milk, cheese, fish, eggs, and meat in your diet for essential calcium, Vitamin D, and protein.

✅ 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲: Engage in weight-bearing activities (like walking, jogging, dancing) and resistance training (squats, planks) to strengthen your bones and muscles.

✅ 𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: Sit up straight and avoid slouching to protect your spine and joints.

✅ 𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐭 𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬: Avoid smoking and limit alcohol intake, as these can negatively impact bone health.

✅ 𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐖𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭: Prevent excessive stress on your knees, hips, and back by keeping a proper weight.

Let's make these habits a part of our daily routine for stronger bones and healthier joints!
