AGE: 25
By age 25, the amount of bone in the skeleton has reached its maximum - known as the peak bone mass. Peak bone mass varies widely but is generally higher in men than in women.
ACTION: Ensure there is enough calcium and vitamin D in your diet, as these are important for bone health.
The recommended daily calcium intake for adults is 700mg. You can get 700 to 1,000mg of calcium most easily by having a pint of milk a day, plus 60g (2oz) hard cheese such as Cheddar or Edam, or one pot of yoghurt (125g), or 60g of sardines. Most people obtain enough vitamin D from the sun. If you don't expose your skin to sunlight very often, then take a good dietary supply of vitamin D. Women and men over the age of 65 years need 10 mcg.
