Dietary Recommendations for Optimising Bone Density

How can this event help me?

Bone health is key to staying active and independent, and nutrition plays a major role in keeping bones strong over time. Whether you’re living with osteoporosis, looking to prevent bone loss, or simply wanting to support your health as you age, the right dietary choices can make a real difference.

In this live online event, Dietitian Monica Kubizniak will share essential dietary strategies for optimising bone density, including which nutrients matter most and how to incorporate them into everyday meals. This session is ideal for anyone wanting to better understand the link between diet and bone strength, whether you have a diagnosed condition or just want to maintain healthy bones.

Join Monica for a practical discussion where she’ll cover:

  • Key Nutrients for Bone Health: Learn the role of calcium, vitamin D, protein, and other nutrients that work together to support strong bones and reduce fracture risk.
  • Food Sources and Meal Strategies: Discover easy, delicious ways to include bone-supporting foods in your daily diet, with tips for different dietary preferences and restrictions.
  • Nutrition for Osteoporosis and Beyond: Understand the specific considerations for those living with osteoporosis or other musculoskeletal conditions, and how dietary choices can complement treatment plans.
  • Meeting Nutrient Needs Without Supplements: Gain confidence in knowing when food can provide enough and when supplements might be helpful.
  • Practical, Everyday Tips: Monica will share realistic ideas for grocery shopping, meal planning, and making bone-friendly eating sustainable long-term.

This session is ideal for anyone looking to protect and strengthen their bones through simple, evidence-based nutrition strategies. Join us on Wednesday, November 26th at 8:00 PM AEDT for this informative live virtual event.  As always, we welcome your questions and discussions to make this an engaging and supportive experience for everyone.
