According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, our bone mass peak around 20 years old, especially in women, and risk of osteoporosis increases as these bone mass are in the decline. As a result, calcium intakes are strongly recommended. Those who are in higher risk of developing osteoporosis includes Caucasian, physically inactive people, older adults, female in general as well as post menopausal women, and those smaller in body size. To counter such risk, a diet higher in calcium including low fat dairy products, dark green leafy vegatables, nuts, and other calcium fortified food. It is also a good idea to be more active and do some weight-bearing activities such as walking/jogging, jump rope, dancing, hiking, and general weight lifting exercises. Combining all these can help reduce your risk of osteoporosis and increase your bone health even as you age.
