Bone Health

It's never too early, or too late, to make bone health a priority.  A healthy, balanced diet that includes three recommended servings of nutrient-rich low-fat or fat-free dairy foods such as milk, cheese or yogurt each day, can help patients maintain good bone health and reduce their risk of osteoporosis.  Teach patients simple steps they can take now to help build and maintain strong bones for life.
