Understanding Bone Health in Adolescents
Bone health is crucial during adolescence, as this is a vital period for skeletal growth. It is essential for young athletes to consume adequate nutrition, including sufficient calcium and protein, to support bone density and development. For example, instead of eliminating dairy due to misconceptions about fat content, adolescents should incorporate nutrient-rich dairy products, as they are significant sources of calcium vital for bone health. Additionally, varied weight-bearing activities should be encouraged to stimulate bone growth effectively, fostering peak bone mass by the time individuals reach their twenties.
