Bone density tends to decline with age — particularly for women around and after menopause. Fractures of the hip, spine, and wrist become a bigger concern, which is why bone health deserves the same attention as heart health in the next chapter.
Calcium is a building block for bone, but bones also need vitamin D, protein, and mechanical loading. A calcium-rich diet (dairy or fortified alternatives, leafy greens, canned fish with bones) matters more than chasing a single supplement by default.
Walking, stair climbing, and progressive strength training signal bone to stay denser. Very low-impact-only routines may be kinder on joints but less stimulating for bone — balance both under professional guidance if you have osteoporosis.
