Well and Good suggests five things to do every night to strengthen your bones and prevent osteoporosis.

Eat snacks rich in protein and calcium

If you want a late night snack, choose foods rich in protein and calcium.

Protein is essential for bone growth. Similarly, calcium is also a major component of bones.

If you don't get enough protein in your diet, your bones are more likely to break. Foods rich in calcium and protein include milk, yogurt, and cheese.

Stand on one leg while brushing your teeth

When you stand on one leg, you put all your weight on that leg. These weight-bearing activities put a positive impact on your bones.

Balancing on each leg for a few minutes each day improves your balance and strengthens your bones. You can do this while brushing your teeth or washing dishes.

Walk

Walking after dinner is a great way to boost bone health. Walking is a weight-bearing activity that stimulates muscle and bone activity, helping to keep bones strong.

You only need 30 minutes of weight-bearing activity most days to keep your bones strong. A walk after dinner is also good for digestion.

Check your daily calcium intake

1 cup of milk, yogurt, orange juice, almonds, beans and some green vegetables help increase calcium.

Checking your daily calcium intake will help you stay on track with your bone health goals. Just make sure not to snack too close to bedtime, as this can disrupt your sleep.

Optimize your sleep environment

Poor sleep quality has negative impacts on health, including bones such as low bone density and increased risk of fractures.

Optimizing sleep is always good for overall health as well as bone health.

Some ways to get better quality sleep include maintaining consistent bedtime and wake-up times, engaging in relaxing activities (taking a warm bath) and turning off the lights, creating a sleep-friendly environment...
