Think calcium supplements are protecting your bones? Think again. Despite half of American women and adults over 60 taking calcium supplements, research shows that large doses may actually harm your cardiovascular system while providing minimal bone benefits. The better approach is getting calcium from food sources like green vegetables, beans, nuts, and seeds, which provide highly absorbable calcium along with other bone-supporting nutrients.

People often lose muscle mass and strength as they age. If you have osteoporosis, you don't just have weak bones — you also have weak muscles. This can increase your likelihood of falling. Regular weight training and exercise can help improve balance and reduce falls.

Spotlight on edamame: the simple soybean that's actually a nutritional powerhouse! 🌱 These green gems contain protective isoflavones that have been linked to reduced risk of breast, prostate, lung, and colorectal cancers, plus cardiovascular disease.
