Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder characterised by weakened bones that are more susceptible to fracture. It can go unnoticed until a bone breaks, and several factors can increase the risk of developing this condition.

06/04/2024

Osteoporosis weakens bones and raises the risk of fractures. Often, it's not noticed until a bone breaks. Many factors can increase the risk of getting it.

Here are some lifestyle changes to lower your risk:
🚭 Stop Smoking: Quitting helps bone health. Smoking makes it harder for the body to absorb calcium, leading to weaker bones.
🍷 Limit Alcohol: Moderate drinking protects bones. Too much alcohol can disrupt calcium balance and hormone levels needed for bone strength.
🍗 Eat More Protein: Foods like poultry, fish, and nuts help keep bones strong.
🍎🥦 Fruits & Veggies: These provide vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that protect bone cells from damage.
