  1. You can take action to strengthen your bones and improve your bone health at any age. The two best things you can do are to eat foods rich in calcium and vitamin D, and to exercise. Eat low-or non-fat milk or yogurt, green leafy vegetables, almonds, salmon, and corn tortillas. Regularly do weight-bearing exercise such as walking, running, jumping rope, or playing basketball.
