Let’s Talk About Osteoporosis.....
Osteoporosis affects millions of adults—often silently—by weakening bones and increasing the risk of fractures. But the good news? There’s so much you can do to protect your bone health.
🦴 What Is Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis occurs when bones lose density and become more fragile. It’s most common as we age, but lifestyle factors also play a role.
