How Can You Keep Your Skeletal System Healthy?
1. Vitamin D makes your bones and teeth strong and healthy. To have more Vitamin D in your body, try to eat foods like eggs, fish, and enriched milk. Also, moderate sunlight exposure can provide some Vitamin D as well.
2. Exercise! Moving your bones and body. Exercising helps prevent osteoporosis. Exercising daily has a positive effect on bone density. Exercising can increase your bones' density which makes them much harder to break. 3. Do Not Smoke. Smoking can prevent the body from absorbing necessary calcium which in result can decrease bone mass. 4. Drink Milk. Milk and other dairy products are some of the best sources of calcium. Calcium strengthens your bones and keeps them healthy and ready to use. 5. Avoid Drinking Excessively. Drinking alcohol excessively can cause bone loss because it interferes with Vitamin D doing its job. |
