The three little pigs fable tale, you will know not to make a house of sticks or straws.
For strong healthy bones, you need lot of calcium for the building of solid bones, plenty of exercise and sunshine. Our skin makes Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight and Vitamin D is required for the absorption of calcium. And if calcium is the source of building solid bones then eating the right types of food is important. If you do not have enough food for your body it is not likely to build muscle and bone. Bone mass and strength is related to a child’s growth. If the nutrition is poor, the child is most likely to be skinny and small for his age. His bones will be thin and poorly built and it’s likely that he will suffer osteoporosis in future. In puberty, bones grow very fast and keep doing so until 30 years of age. After that it starts to drop off.

Foods that are high in calcium are diary products like milk, cheese and yogurt as well as fish like salmon, herring and trout. Calcium can also be obtained from other sources like green leafy vegetables, ikan bilis and tofu.

Regular exercise is also the way to make your bones stronger. Bones are like your muscles or brain. If you do not exercise them, it does not matter how much nutrition you give them, they will not get stronger. Weight bearing exercises is good for building stronger bones, like running, brisk walking and cycling.
