Other than Exoprin, how can I lessen my personal risk factors for developing Osteoporosis?
Contrary to popular belief, research has determined that Osteoporosis can almost always be prevented. Prevention begins in childhood, most notably with proper diet, and continues throughout the remainder of your life. The key components in a life-long prevention program include; a balanced diet (abundant in both calcium and vitamin D), engaging in weight-bearing exercise, limiting, or completely eradicating, smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, and having laboratory tests conducted early in adulthood to check for bone mineral density. Nutritional supplements can also aid in preventing Osteoporosis.
