Osteoporosis, a global public health concern, weakens bones and raises the risk of fragility fractures. Nutritional factors play a significant role, with calcium and vitamin D essential for bone health. Recent studies have questioned supplement effectiveness, emphasizing the importance of a balanced diet. A review by  Muñoz-Garach et al (2020) explores dietary patterns’ effects on bone health, highlighting the need for more research. The authors provide evidence on how promoting lifestyle changes, balanced nutrient intake, and physical activity is crucial to reduce osteoporosis risk. They also discuss how:

• Dairy consumption’s link to fracture risk requires further investigation
• Adequate calcium intake remains beneficial, regardless of dietary preferences.
• Individuals should embrace a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and avoid processed foods for better bone health.
