Bone loss doesn't begin in your senior years. In fact, it often starts decades earlier. In this episode of Dishing Up Nutrition, dietitians Melanie Beasley and Britni Vincent explain why women should start thinking about bone health long before menopause and how simple nutrition and lifestyle habits can make a lasting difference. They discuss the role of protein, calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K2, magnesium, strength training, hormones, and more, while also debunking common myths about osteoporosis.
