Bones stay healthy through a constant process of repair, renewal and mineral release. With age, the remodeling process can become unbalanced, and over time this leaves bones weaker. Osteoporosis is a bone disease that causes the bones to become weak and brittle, which increases the risk of them breaking. According to the IOF, it is estimated that worldwide an osteoporotic fracture occurs every three seconds.1 This is why Sunsweet wants to help spread the word about the importance of building strong bones. It's never too early or too late to improve bone health.

Here are three ways to step up for bone health:

"Incorporating regular exercise and bone-supportive foods like prunes into your everyday lifestyle is key to supporting bone health throughout your life," says Sunsweet partner, registered dietitian and exercise psychologist, Angie Asche , MS, RD, CSSD. "Whether it's a professional athlete or my family, I recommend tossing a few prune packs into a workout bag or purse for an on-the-go snack or adding to meals you're already eating. Prunes are versatile and easy to add to any daily routine!"
