Osteoporosis is a major cause of disability in older women. So what can you do to prevent the condition? Or if you have it, how can you reduce your risk of the spinal problems and broken bones that osteoporosis makes you susceptible to?
The answer: Exercise.
If you’ve always been physically active, good for you. Even though your bones may lose some density as you age, they’re less likely to become brittle enough to break if you slip and fall.
But it’s not too late to start exercising after menopause, when the pace of bone loss really picks up. Even then, exercise will increase your muscle strength, improve your balance and help you avoid falls — and it may keep your bones from getting weaker.
Other possible benefits include:
- Increasing your ability to carry out daily tasks and activities
- Maintaining or improving your posture
- Relieving or lessening pain
- Increasing your sense of well-being

1. WEIGHT BEARING EXERCISE
2. BALANCED DIET, RICH WITH CALCIUM
3. ESTROGEN REPLACEMENT THERAPHY
