3 Tips for Healthier Bones and Stability

By Genevieve Cunningham

It seems as though we hear about bone health two times in our lives. The first is when we’re kids. We hear about drinking more milk in order to grow healthy and strong bones. The second time is when we’re older. We begin to hear about the dangers of weak bones and osteoporosis. But bone health is important at every point in our lives … young, old, and in the middle. Take a look at why bone health is so important, followed by a few tips for long-term health.

Why Does It Matter?

There are many reasons why bone health is important, but one of the biggest is the simple fact that our bones hold us up and keep us strong and stable. Can you imagine doing anything at all without bones? It wouldn’t work. And when our bones are weak, it leads to a greater chance of injury. Keeping your bones healthy keeps you upright and active, which is an important part of living a healthy life.

Tips for Healthy Bones

  • Exercise the Muscles - The muscles surround the bones. While they’re not an actual part of the bones themselves, your structure would suffer greatly without them. The muscles help to support the rest of your body including your bones. The healthier the muscles, the less work and stress is placed on the bones, thus keeping them healthier longer.

  • Consume Calcium - The bones are made of calcium, so consuming enough is vital to your ultimate well-being. To get more calcium, eat more dairy such as milk, yogurt, and cheese. If all else fails, look for a calcium supplement to help you stay healthy.

  • Chiropractic Care - Chiropractors help by keeping the bones of the spine properly aligned. When they are misaligned, it can cause pain, tension, fatigue, and other negative side effects. As the spine is properly aligned, it also encourages the rest of the body to follow suit, which then promotes a stronger and more stable structure in general.

While exercise and calcium consumption can be done on your own, you’ll need a little help with chiropractic care. If you’d like to try this method, check out The Joint Chiropractic.
