Your bone health depends on Calcium and Physical activity and Vitamin D

For Strong bones you need calcium, vitamin D and weight-bearing physical activity. If your diet contains calcium and Vitamin D rich foods, but, you are not exercising enough then calcium will not get deposited in the bones. Similarly, if you are exercising but not eating enough calcium rich foods, then again, calcium will not get deposited in the bones.

It's not enough to just eat right, or, just do lots of weight-bearing physical activity. It takes both to make bones strong. So dance, jump, play, involve yourself in the household chores, walk to the market and buy your groceries; these are all roads to healthy bones and a healthy life!
