A summary of how to build bone
Nutrition plays a critical role in building and maintaining strong bones. Adequate calcium and vitamin D intake are essential. Calcium is the primary mineral in bones, and vitamin D helps the body absorb it effectively.
Vitamin D, often called the “sunshine vitamin,” can be synthesized in the skin through sunlight exposure.That is the free source. In my work, I found that close to 90% of my clients who test for their blood Vit D, do not meet the reference range. I recommend daily supplement of Vit D 2000 iu.
