How do I keep my child’s bones healthy?

Think of bone as a savings account; your kids are making deposits and withdrawals of bone tissue. During childhood and adolescence, more bone is deposited than withdrawn as the skeleton grows in both size and density. A diet rich in calcium keeps withdrawals, or bone loss, to a minimum by providing minerals that buffer the acids produced by other portions of the diet, such as protein.

Kids with the highest peak bone mass after adolescence have the greatest protective advantage in terms of future bone health. Optimizing bone health early in life is crucial in preventing future fractures and osteoporosis. If your child isn’t drinking milk or eating any other high calcium foods, such as yogurt, cheese, or calcium-fortified orange juice, a multivitamin with vitamin D and calcium supplement is essential.
