The following methods can be used to treat osteoporosis without medication: Exercise - Performing exercises on a regular basis will help increase bone density and lower the risk of fractures. Recommended exercises include stair climbing, walking, hiking, and dancing. Diet - Reversing osteoporosis requires a diet high in calcium, vitamin D, and other nutrients that support bone health. Dairy products, leafy greens and supplements are a must! Give up smoking - Quitting smoking leads to improved bone health as smoking has been linked to a decrease in bone density. Fall prevention - Reducing tripping hazards, using assistive devices and attending physical therapy are methods of preventing falls and fractures. Reducing stress - Because prolonged stress can lead to bone loss using relaxation techniques such as yoga or meditation is beneficial. Osteoporosis is a bone disease that appears when bone mass and mineral density decline or when the composition and strength of bones alter. As a result, there may be a decline in bone density and an elevated risk of fractures (broken bones). It is important to get it treated at an early stage.
