How To Prevent Osteoporosis

How can I prevent osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis prevention is, perhaps, the most important thing because we don't have a cure. With osteoporosis you can't determine who your parents are and what genes you get but you can have good nutrition including adequate calcium and vitamin D. You can take care of any hormone deficiencies like oestrogen deficiency which can be present even at a younger age. You can avoid heavy alcohol use. You can avoid heavy tobacco use. You can do weight bearing and avoid lying in bed all day long. Those are the things that you can do to try to prevent osteoporosis. In some instances medications are necessary.
