Nutrition and Bone Health
Did you know that bone mass typically peaks around age 35? In our 50’s, bone mass starts to decline in both women and men, putting us at risk for diseases like osteopenia and osteoporosis.
The good news is that lifestyle choices, including proper nutrition, play a key role in maintaining bone density. In this noontime webinar, you will learn the important role of nutrition to prevent and treat osteoporosis and the dietary components that are key to good bone health.
We’ll explore the many nutrients integral to bone health – you may be surprised to discover that it’s more than just calcium! You will learn how to get these nutrients from diverse foods including plant sources, not just dairy, as well as the latest scientific research about calcium supplements. We will also identify other lifestyle risk factors for osteoporosis, with tips on when to seek help from a healthcare professional. Walk away with practical dietary tips to keep your bones healthy and strong as you age.
This class will be recorded and a one-week link to the recording will be shared with all registered participants. Attend the live session or listen to the recording within one week to receive incentive points.
