Tips to prevent Osteoporosis

· Ensure an adequate calcium intake which meets the relevant dietary recommendations in the country or region concerned, at all stages of your life.
· Maintain a sufficient supply of vitamin D through adequate, safe exposure to the sun, through diet, or through supplements.
· Enjoy a balanced, nutritious diet including adequate protein, and plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables for both bone and general health benefits.
· Safeguard a healthy body weight, as being underweight is a strong risk factor for osteoporosis (body mass index less than 18.5 kg/m2).
