Almonds support bone health in multiple ways. As with some other nuts and seeds, almonds are chock-full of calcium, magnesium, and protein essential nutrients that help build strong, healthy bones. Eat a handful of nuts a day (that’s about 23 almonds). If you’re not into eating almonds, try pistachios or sunflower seeds they have similar benefits.(Source) Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by low bone mass, micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue leading to bone fragility, and consequent increase in fracture risk. It is the most common reason for a broken bone among the elderly. Wikipedia

Bones that commonly break include the vertebrae in the spine, the bones of the forearm, and the hip. Until a broken bone occurs there are typically no symptoms. Bones may weaken to such a degree that a break may occur with minor stress or spontaneously. After the broken bone heals, the person may have chronic pain and a decreased ability to carry out normal activities. Osteoporosis may be due to lower-than-normal maximum bone mass and greater-than-normal bone loss. Bone loss increases after menopause due to lower levels of estrogen. Wiki
