The secrets to strong bones

As we age, maintaining the health of our bones becomes increasingly important. But just because you're young, doesn't mean you don't have to worry about your bones. I've met a number of 20-somethings who avoid calcium in favor of soda who break a bone every few months. As for me, the avid milk-drink, soda-avoider? I've never broken a bone.

Anyway, my point is this: Take care of your bones, no matter how old you are. I can promise you that you'll regret it if you don't. Getting your share of calcium is important, but other nutrients play a big role too -- including Vitamin D and magnesium. And just because you hate milk, doesn't mean you can't get your calcium fix -- you can find calcium in lots of veggies too.
