The Mediterranean diet is not only heart healthy but also supports strong bones. Research shows that women who follow this diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and olive oil, tend to have better bone density. Including calcium and vitamin D–rich foods such as leafy greens, yogurt, and fish helps build and maintain bone strength. Pairing the diet with regular exercise, like walking or resistance training, further enhances bone health, especially in the lower back and hips. Adopting these habits can be a simple, enjoyable way to protect bones as we age.
