What Is Osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is a progressive disease that causes bones to weaken and become fragile over time. Bone loss often occurs without noticeable symptoms, making it difficult to detect until a fracture or injury occurs. While osteoporosis can affect individuals of all ages, it is most common in postmenopausal women.

Tips to Help Prevent Bone Loss:

• Engage in regular exercise (3–4 times per week)

• Maintain a well-balanced diet rich in essential nutrients

• Ensure adequate calcium intake

• Include sufficient protein in your diet

• Get enough vitamin D

• Limit alcohol consumption

• Maintain a healthy body weight
