It’s never too early to start taking care of your bone health. Dr. Luz Ramos, senior medical director at Independence Blue Cross, joined NBC10’s “Healthy You” to discuss why bone health matters and what steps we should be taking to protect our bones.
During the interview, Dr. Ramos encouraged viewers to start taking care of their bones as early as possible. She stressed the importance of daily activity and movement, as bone loss can be asymptomatic and may not be noticeable until injury occurs.
She also highlighted the value of knowing your family history and risk factors for bone health. This is especially true for women since Osteoporosis disproportionately affects them.
Dr. Ramos emphasized the importance of personal risk awareness and light physical activity to build stronger bones. Taking steps to support bone health early can help build a strong foundation for healthy aging.
