About this episode

In the first installment of our special series "Stronger Bones at Every Age," we explore how the choices we make in childhood can set the stage for lifelong bone health. We’ll look at the critical roles of calcium, protein, and physical activity—and share practical tips for helping kids build strong, resilient bones from the very start.

"Stronger Bones at Every Age" is a special limited series made possible in part by the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, a contractor to the Beef Checkoff. This series is dedicated to providing the same evidence-based, unbiased information you've come to expect from the Nutrition Diva, reflecting the editorial integrity and professional expertise of our host.
