Our bones provide so many critical functions for our wellbeing, and yet it feels as if we tacitly accept they will shrink as we age. What does science say about our bone health as we age? Is conventional wisdom correct about how to "build strong bones"? Is there a science-proven secret to keeping our bones strong, or are we doomed to one day walking as if we are made of brittle glass? We found the science to answer the burning questions.
