Orthopaedic doctors emphasize the importance of bone and joint health for overall quality of life, especially as people age. They recommend adopting New Year habits focused on nourishing bones with essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D through diet, sunlight, and supplements. Beyond these, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin K, and vitamin C also contribute to bone density and joint health, found in a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and lean proteins.
