Milk Alone Does Not Ensure Strong Bones; Other Nutrients Crucial

Kathmandu. From childhood, we are taught that drinking milk daily is essential for strong bones. Although milk is a good source of calcium, does drinking only milk make bones strong?

Bone strength does not depend solely on calcium; Vitamin D, protein, magnesium, phosphorus, Vitamin K, and regular physical activity are equally important. Deficiency in any of these nutrients can weaken bones, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures even with adequate milk intake.
