It will help to keep your bones strong and healthy and reduce the risk of them becoming weak and more likely to break.
You can help improve the strength of your bones by taking regular exercise (especially weight-bearing exercise), eating healthy foods containing calcium and vitamin D, and reducing your consumption of alcohol and tobacco.
