Calcium is good for strong bones and teeth — but there are other things you can do to keep your bones healthy! 🦴

As we get older our bones naturally become weaker and less dense. Sometimes bones can become too fragile that they may get damaged or break during a small injury or fall.

That's why it's important to keep your bones healthy at all stages of life. Take a look below for some things you can do.

Other factors that can affect bone strength include hormonal changes or medication. If you have any concerns about how these are affecting your bones, please speak to your GP.

Meal preparation is a great way to be organised for the week ahead, but when it comes to storing protein in the fridge, shelf life can vary. 🥘

Take a look below, to find out how long they'll last in the fridge.👇

Remember these important tips:
👉 Avoid leaving recently cooked food out for more than 1 hour
👉 Store all meals in the fridge between 0°C and 3°C
👉 Reheat your meals thoroughly to kill most types of food poisoning bacteria
👉 Freeze the meals you know you can't eat within the shelf life period

To help you keep track of your meal expiry, try labelling them with a best before date. 📆
