1. List two factors that keep bones healthy. Describe in detail how these factors impact bone health.

|One factor that keeps bones healthy is that bones have to be physically stressed to remain healthy. When we remain active |

|physically our bones respond by becoming stronger. If we are totally inactive they become thin and fragile. Another factor is a|

|lack of calcium and protein. Supplementation with calcium plus vitamin D has been shown to be effective in reducing fractures |

|and falls in institutionalized older adults. |
