Strong Bones Begin with Smart Nutrition: Dr. Rajesh Bawari

For Dr. Rajesh Bawari, Principal Consultant – Orthopaedics and Head of Complex Trauma at Max Hospital, true orthopedic care begins long before a surgical intervention. It starts at the cellular level—with nutrition. Speaking on the importance of diet and supplementation in bone and muscle health, Dr. Bawari emphasized that minerals like calcium and magnesium, alongside vitamins D and B12, are the essential building blocks for a resilient musculoskeletal system. He advocated for a personalized, evidence-based approach—starting with an individual's hematological profile and dietary habits—to determine what the body lacks and how best to restore it, with strategically timed supplements given in cycles to avoid unnecessary cost and overuse.
