When you are at the young age your body makes new bone faster than the old bones are broken down and the bone mass increases. At the age of about 30 years most of the people reach their peak bone mass. After that age, the remodeling continues, but you lose slightly more bone mass that you gain.

Most likely you are likely to develop the disease called osteoporosis a condition in which the bones of the body becomes weak and brittle. The higher your peak bone mass, which is more the mass you have gained during the 30 years of age and less likely the situation is that you will develop osteoporosis at that age.

It should be accompanied with vitamin D. for calcium rich source are included in the diet like yogurt, spinach, milk etc.
3. Boost the bone density with vitamin K: The exact way vitamin K contributes is to the bone health is unclear.
