Bones develop through childhood and our teenage years reaching peak bone mineral density by our late 20\u2019s. Having good nutrition for bone health during those years is crucial.

Often these conditions go undetected until someone has a fall/fracture.\n\n A bone stress injury can stop a runner in her tracks and may even lead to a longer term injury, so looking after your bones as a runner is important for health and a long enjoyable running life.\n\n In Episode 21, Bone Health for Runners (Part 1), we discussed what makes healthy bones, the causes of stress fractures in runners as well as an introduction into nutrition and lifestyle to support optimal bone health. \n\n In this episode Bone Health for Runners (Part 2) we delve deeper into specific nutrients required for strong bones and discuss some lifestyle factors to also promote bone health.
