Teens and young adults are in their final window to build strong bones for life. In the second installment of our special series "Stronger Bones at Every Age," we explore how nutrition, physical activity, and lifestyle habits during this critical stage shape lifelong bone health—and how parents and caregivers can support healthy development.

"Stronger Bones at Every Age" is a special limited series made possible in part by the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, a contractor to the Beef Checkoff. This series is dedicated to providing the same evidence-based, unbiased information you've come to expect from the Nutrition Diva, reflecting the editorial integrity and professional expertise of our host.
