Bones Tips
For building strong bones, try to do about 30 min of weight-bearing exercises like walking, dancing & weight training on most days of the week.
Weight-bearing exercises are important for building strong bones when you are younger and keeping them strong when you are older. The term weight-bearing is used to describe exercises that work against the force of gravity.

Dancing regularly can strengthen your weight-bearing bones like tibia (shinbone), fibula (calf bone) & femur (thigh bone).
The side-to-side movements of many dances strengthen your weight bearing bones and help prevent loss of bone mass.
For stronger bones, go sit outdoor for atleast 3 times a week for 10-15 minutes to stimulate adequate production of vitamin D.
Vitamin D plays a critical role in the preservation of bone health. Without sufficient Vitamin D, your body cannot absorb the calcium to build stronger bones.

Dancing is a wonderful exercise which you can do at home without equipment. It is good for your heart and your bones.
The constant and low impact movements of dancing allow your joints and bones to strengthen, reducing the risk of sprains, breaks and arthritis later in life. This also help in the prevention or slow loss of bone mass associated with osteoporosis. As a cardio exercise, dancing helps strengthen your heart.
Avoid crash dieting: Long term crash dieters frequently suffer from osteoporosis (brittle bone) as they severely limit their calcium intake.
Because of the less calcium intake, calcium begins to leach out of the bones in your body, leaving them particularly fragile. Many crash dieters suffer broken bones, particularly hips and wrists, as a result of their osteoporosis.
