NCPAD:Health Promotion: Osteoporosis and Nutrition

[clipart] Osteoporosis is a condition in which our bones become very fragile and are more likely to break.

Strong bones depend on bone density. Bone loss begins in early adult life and continues as we age. As we age, we lose bone so it becomes less dense.
