Do exercises
Keeping your body exercised will bring you many benefits for your muscles and bones.

It is important to exercise and have constant physical activity if we want to take care of our health, exercise helps to improve joint stability and reduces the risk of degenerative diseases.
Incorporate Calcium into your diet
Incorporating Calcium into our diet is extremely important if we want to have good orthopedic health. Bone density is the amount of calcium and other minerals in our bones. This density can remain high at 25 and 35 years of age, but in aging it can decrease considerably, resulting in brittle bones. It is extremely important that we incorporate calcium in our diet, this can come from dairy foods such as milk or yogurt, non-dairy foods, but with a good amount of calcium such as vegetables, broccoli, pumpkin, spinach, kale, tofu, carrot, cauliflower and also fish such as salmon, tuna and sardines.
You can also take Calcium supplements, under the supervision of your doctor.
Know the importance of Vitamin D
Calcium and Vitamin D should go together in your diet. The main function of Vitamin D is to increase Calcium absorption, allowing to enhance its effect by strengthening your bones. Vitamin D can be incorporated into your diet in foods such as eggs, tuna, salmon, cheese, yogurt, milk, mushrooms, nuts and whole grains.
Correct your body posture
Staying upright is extremely important. If you are in the office of your work or studying at home, you will know that many times we take bad posture at the time of sitting. You should know that this can have consequences for your back and your orthopedic health. Bad posture can bring many defects in the spine such as scoliosis, kyphosis, hyper lordosis as well as painful conditions such as spasms, neck pain and low back pain.
How to sit correctly?
Choose the right chair for your work
The ideal chair is the one that we can adjust to our body, that is, we can adjust the height of the seat and backrest, as well as its inclination. In addition, it is better with wheels than with legs so that we can move with a slight impulse and the fabric must be breathable, non-slip and soft. The armrests seem very useful, but sometimes they are an obstacle because they do not allow the chair to get close enough to the table.
