Join the Healthy Bones Week campaign this August 1 to 7 to help spread the word on the key actions needed for building and maintaining healthy bones.

2016 healthy bones week is focusing on women over 50, who are at an increased risk of fractures and injury due to osteoporosis and loss of bone density after menopause.

Healthy Bones Action Week calls on Australians of all ages to take the three actions to build and maintain healthy bones:

1. Increase daily serves of calcium through milk, cheese or yogurt;
2. Go for a walk or committing to some new form of regular exercise; and
3. Spend time outdoors to get more vitamin D.
