Tip: get a bone density test soon

If you don't get enough elemental calcium (hint: more than and from a better source than milk) and you've easily broken bones before, you may want to invest in a bone density test in the near future to see just how strong or brittle your bones are.

Osteoporosis is probably the best-known condition for weak bones, but you want to see if your bone condition is strong or weak before the damage has been done, and an easy bone density test can accomplish this.

If anything, a bone density test can point to lifestyle changes that need to be made, as in eating the correct foods and strengthening those bones through resistive exercises on a regular basis. After all, those bones will be holding you up for a lifetime.
