Natalie Rizzo, MS, RD
Bone health is something that athletes don't think about enough. This episode dives into the science of bones, including how bones grow and develop and when you start losing bone density. I chat with Andrea Giancoli, MPH, RD, the Nutrition Advisor for the California Prune Board, about nutrients and foods that can protect bones.
We also discuss some really interesting studies featuring prunes. Study links below:
