A Letter from Your Bones
Read & answer: How can we help our bones?
Dear friend,
We are your bones. We help you stand, run, and jump. We want to be strong and healthy. Can you help us? Here’s what you can do:
Eat good food.
Milk and cheese make us strong. They are our favourite! Green vegetables are great for us. Fish and eggs are good, too. Junk food? No, thanks.

Enjoy the sun.
Play outside in the morning sun. The sunshine helps your body produce vitamin D. Then vitamin D helps us absorb calcium from the food you eat. That’s how we become strong and healthy.

Move your body.
When you run, jump, or dance, we get stronger. But we don’t jump from very high places. We don’t want to hear a scary “Crack”. Please don’t sit on the sofa all day. That makes us feel weak.


All these good habits make us strong and healthy. Please take good care of us!
Love,
Your bones
