October 20, 2026 is World Osteoporosis Day.
Bones are the perfect companion for your body.
- They protect your heart (swoon!) and other important organs
- They support everything you do – even your embarrassing dance moves
Every day, your bones work hard to break down and remove old bone, build new bone, and store vital nutrients to keep you mobile and healthy.
But as we age, this bone remodeling process can become unbalanced and lead to bone diseases such as osteoporosis. In people with osteoporosis, old bone is removed from the body faster than new bone is created, causing bones to become thinner and break more easily.
But how much do you know about osteoporosis? There is a lot of misinformation out there about this bone disease and you may even have your own ideas that aren’t entirely true.
That’s why we dispel myths and give you the facts and tips you need to know to protect your bone health and reduce your risk of osteoporosis.
