Keep Your Bones Safe and Strong This Winter

Winter brings beauty and comfort—snow-covered landscapes, warm drinks, and cozy evenings indoors. Yet it also brings challenges that can affect our health, mobility, and safety. Cold temperatures, shorter days, and increased fall hazards mean we should be extra intentional about supporting our bodies. The Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation (BHOF) highlights three habits that are especially important during the winter months: staying active, preventing falls, and maintaining a nutrient-rich diet that includes calcium and vitamin D. Together, these habits help strengthen bones, reduce injury risk, and maintain overall wellness.

The good news is that vaccination recommendations have expanded to include more adults, giving you the protection needed to stay healthy, independent, and present for the moments that matter most.
