Your Bone and Joint Health

Good bone and joint health is vital to your overall well-being. Your bones serve several important functions. For example, bones:

Provide structure for your body
Protect your organs
Anchor Your muscles
Store your body’s calcium reserve.

Maintaining good bone and joint health is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your loved ones. At current rates, it is estimated that as many as 70% of Canadians will require orthopaedic surgery at some point in their lifetime. With healthy choices about nutrition, activities and activity levels, and preventing injury, bone and joint health can carry us throughout our lives – longer and stronger.

Eating Well – Healthy nutrition enables you to build and maintain bone density
Keeping Active – Conditioning and choices enable supportive muscle strengthening
Injury Prevention – Preventing injury prevents diseases and disorders later
Keep and Build Healthy Bones
