Experts Warn Indoor Lifestyles and Poor Nutrition Affect Bone Health in India
Medical experts warn that prolonged indoor lifestyles are negatively impacting bone health across age groups in India. Orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Sumit Badhwar highlights vitamin D deficiency and reduced physical activity as key factors weakening bones in young adults. Similarly, Dr. Sfurti Mann emphasizes that Indian children face a 'skeletal crisis' due to limited sunlight exposure, excessive screen time, and poor nutrition, which hinder peak bone mass development. Both experts recommend balanced sunlight exposure, physical movement, and adequate nutrition to maintain bone strength and prevent future complications.
