For many, bone mass will peak by their 20s. After reaching peak bone mass, both men and women start to lose bone mineral density as they age. Luckily, there are steps we can take to build stronger bones and help prevent bone loss. This summer, Sunsweet Growers is encouraging consumers to take care of their bones through targeted activities and nutritious snacks.

Check out these six bone-supporting ways to enjoy your summer:

  1. Backyard dance parties – Did you know that dancing is considered a weight-bearing exercise because you are working against gravity? Weight-bearing and resistance activities are the best for your bones so crank up the tunes and head to the backyard for a dance party. Get more information on bone health and exercise here.
  2. Add prunes to snacks and meals – Multiple studies suggest prunes may help to prevent bone loss. Prunes have vitamins and minerals that likely work together to protect the bone, including fiber, vitamin K, magnesium, potassium, boron, copper and polyphenols.1 Learn more here.
  3. Hit the trails – Hiking can help increase bone density. Before you head out, pack a portable snack, like a homemade trail mix featuring nuts and dried fruit such as prunes.
  4. Grab your yoga mat – Yoga can build bone health in your hips, spine and wrists. Consider targeting major muscles around the hip and spine at least 2 days per week.
  5. Brisk evening walks –Take advantage of the extra daylight and the pleasant evening temperatures and get in a sunset walk. Brisk walking four days a week for an hour can help lower the risk of hip fractures. Cool down and boost your nutrition with a glass of prune juice mixed with iced sparkling water to fuel your body with feel good benefits.
  6. Amp up your entertaining – Create a picture-perfect charcuterie board that the whole family will enjoy. Look to add bone-friendly foods that contain vitamins and minerals like calcium, vitamin D, potassium, magnesium and vitamin K. Foods like leafy green vegetables, yogurt, nuts and prunes contain many of these key nutrients.
