As women age, maintaining bone health becomes increasingly important to prevent osteoporosis and fractures.

Understanding Bone Health: Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by weakened bones, increasing the risk of fractures. Post-menopausal women are particularly at risk due to decreased estrogen levels.

Tips for Maintaining Bone Health:

• Calcium and Vitamin D: Ensure adequate intake through diet or supplements.

• Weight-Bearing Exercises: Activities like walking, jogging, and weight lifting to strengthen bones.

• Avoid Smoking and Limit Alcohol: Both can contribute to bone loss.

How Probiotics Can Help: Probiotics can enhance calcium absorption, reduce inflammation that may lead to bone loss, and support the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which are beneficial for bone health.
