World Osteoporosis Day 🦴🩻
Osteoporosis is when the structure of bone is compromised and becomes weaker and less dense, the bone has an increased risk of fractures.
Ways that you can Step Up for Bone Health include:
1. Eat bone-healthy foods that have calcium, vitamin D and protein
2. Regular exercise that includes weight-bearing and resistant exercises - moderate to high intensity weight-bearing aerobic exercise (such as brisk walking, hiking, stair climbing or jogging), high intensity progressive resistance training (lifting weights) and high impact exercise (such as jumping or rope skipping) can increase bone mineral density by 1-4% per year in pre- and postmenopausal women
3. Maintain a healthy body weight
4. Don’t smoke and avoid excessive alcohol intake
5. Be aware of any risk factors - this can include family history, low calcium and vitamin D, previous fractures or falls, menopause, diabetes, cancer treatment, low levels of physical activity, smoking
