Nutrition in the Lifecycle

Original Air Date : January 30, 2023

Bone Health is important throughout our lifecycle with most of us reaching peak bone mass by age 30. Bone-healthy behaviours are important from an early age in order to optimize bone health. As we age, we lose bone mass and may become at-risk for osteoporosis and related fractures.

Registered Dietitian Shelly Hagen discusses how bone building nutrients affect each stage of life and how best to meet nutritional needs supporting strong and healthy bones.
