<s>[INST] What is a healthy diet for my bones? [/INST] Many nutrients play a role in bone health. Calcium, vitamin D and magnesium are the key bone health nutrients that require special attention to ensure you meet your daily requirement.

Although many foods contain calcium, dairy products provide the most calcium per serving size. Daily requirements for calcium change with age. People who do not eat dairy foods will need to work hard to meet the recommended daily allowance or may need a calcium supplement.

The easiest way to get vitamin D is through exposure to sunlight — but we don’t recommend trying to go that route because of the risk of skin cancer. Talk to your doctor about adding a supplement.

Other nutrients for good bone health include: magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and vitamin A.

The USDA recommends 0.36 grams of protein per pound of body weight, but current recommendations suggest that protein needs depend on age, body weight and activity level.
