Bone development refers to the stages of when our bones develope. This occurs from before we were born our bones reach their optimal peak for strength and density when we reach our late twenties and early thirties. Our diet and how much we excercise during the bone development stage a, this includes our bone density and how much mineral we have in our bone tissue. Good bone health is essential to minimise the risk of osteoporosis and fracture risk. . If our bones lose density, they may break easily. Throughout childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood, the bones absorb nutrients and minerals, gaining strength. From our late twenties and early thirties our bone density will peak before declining.

We can improve the strength and health of the bones in our bodies through exercise such as strength training, our diet plays a key role in our bones health too.
