Embrace Active Aging: Prioritizing Bone and Joint Health This World Health Day

  Many of us face challenges as we age, from weakening bones and joints to reduced mobility and an increased risk of chronic conditions. Osteoporosis, in particular, has become a pressing concern among adults and the elderly, yet it is frequently dismissed as a natural part of aging. This perception results in a lack of urgency in addressing the disease, leaving many unaware of the preventive measures they can take to maintain strong bones and joints. Without early intervention, poor bone and joint health can significantly impact one’s independence and overall quality of life, making everyday activities more challenging.

The 2021 Expanded National Nutrition Survey further revealed that 97.2% of adults and 95.5% of the elderly suffer from calcium deficiency, highlighting a wide...
