Strong bones, how to ensure you have them?

Strong bones are vitally important to most people. How to ensure you have strong bones will require some though about what you eat and do. Strong bones allow activity in the early stages of life as well as latter in life. When a person has strong bones they are less likely to get broken bones, osteoporosis, and they can be active. So if you want to ensure you have strong bones, there are two major things to do, take calcium and exercise.
Calcium builds bones better than any other food or vitamin. Strong bones will limit the chance of osteoporosis. The strengthening of strong bones will need to start at an early age to ensure strong bones later on. For the human body, bone mass (how thick and sturdy the bones are) develops quickly between 10 and 20 years. This bone mass peaks at age 30. Continual consumption of calcium will ensure the strength of the bones. After the age of 35 a person will loose 1% of bone mass every year. With calcium and exercise a person can restore bone mass that will be lost.
