How can I prevent osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is a condition that weakens bones, making them more likely to fracture. Women are at a higher risk, especially post-menopause due to lower levels of estrogen. To prevent osteoporosis, focus on a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, which are essential for bone health. Weight-bearing exercises like walking, dancing, or weightlifting can also strengthen bones. Avoid smoking and limit alcohol consumption, as these can weaken bones. Regular screenings and discussions with your GP about your bone health can help manage risks effectively.
