	Take Control of Your Bone Health
	It is never too early to be concerned about the health of your bones. As a natural function of aging, we undergo a life-long progression of bone-tissue loss. For some, however, this loss progresses faster than others. It is important to be mindful of bone health throughout your life, so that you arrive in your golden years with the strongest bones possible. Osteoporosis, a condition characterized by severely reduced bone mass and brittle bones, is often thought to only concern older women. This is only partly true. Osetoperosis can affect both men and women, however studies show women may experience a drop in bone mass of 5 to 7 percent during menopause, which increases their risk for osteoporosis. Keep in mind that there are many other factors that affect the health of your bones such as diet, exercise, and how your body digests food.
	Focus on: Calcium
	Why You Need It: Calcium, the most abundant mineral in the body, is essential for muscle contractions, a healthy nervous system, blood clotting, hormone secretion, and, of course, strong bones. Research also has shown that getting enough calcium can prevent osteoporosis (when combined with regular exercise and adequate levels of vitamin D); lower blood pressure; and reduce the risk of colorectal cancer. Learn more about calcium here!
