Osteoporosis is a disease which makes bones weak and fragile. This greatly increases the risk of breaking a bone even after a minor fall or bump. The disease has no obvious symptoms, so many people don’t know they have osteoporosis until they suffer a fracture. Fractures can be life-altering, causing pain, disability and loss of independence. That’s why it’s important to prevent osteoporosis!
What can you do to prevent osteoporosis? According to the International Osteoporosis Foundation, you can do many things to help maintain healthy bones and to avoid premature bone loss. Making simple changes to your diet, taking enough exercise, and kicking bad lifestyle habits will not just help you prevent osteoporosis, but will also benefit your general well-being.
Piedmont’s Osteoporosis & Bone Health Center recommends being aware of your osteoporosis risk factors, and get an early diagnosis, and treatment if needed.
