To prevent osteoporosis and maintain healthy bones, you can:
Ensure an adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D through a balanced diet or supplements if needed.
Engage in regular weight-bearing exercises, such as walking or weightlifting.
Avoid smoking and limit alcohol consumption.
Get regular screenings to assess bone density, especially after menopause or if there are other risk factors.
Speak with your healthcare provider about medications or hormone therapy options if necessary.
