Answer

It is really important for teens to get calcium and other nutritious elements to strengthen their bones when they are young which is why it is important to inform them, and to ensure that they are leading a healthy lifestyle. A great way to get teens to care more about their bone health is to educate them about osteoporosis and explain to them how they can avoid the disease by paying more attention to their diet. In this way even if the teens are rebellious and do not want to listen to any advice, they will be encouraged to do so, when they see the damage osteoporosis can have on the body.
