Effective musculoskeletal health relies on key nutrients that support bones, muscles, cartilage, and joints.

Calcium and vitamin D are crucial for bone strength and density; calcium builds bone mass, while vitamin D enhances calcium absorption.

Protein fuels muscle repair and growth, which is crucial for maintaining muscle mass.

Magnesium and phosphorus also contribute to bone health, while omega-3 fatty acids support joint function and reduce inflammation.

Deficiencies in these nutrients can lead to issues like brittle bones, muscle weakness, and joint pain. 

To address these needs, incorporate calcium-rich foods (dairy, leafy greens), vitamin D sources (sunlight, fortified foods), and protein sources (lean meats, legumes) into your meals. As needed, one can incorporate nutritional supplements into their routine to address deficiencies.
