 The International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) recently released a report on how to build and maintain healthy bones and strong muscles. The report recommended that children and adults get the recommended amount of vitamin D, calcium and protein, and participate in daily weight-bearing and muscle strengthening exercise to promote healthy bones. It encouraged dairy foods as a great way to help get enough calcium and protein, because milk, cheese and yogurt are good sources of these important nutrients.
