A member asked:
What guidance would you provide to someone to prevent osteoporosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diet and exercise.: Assuming there are normal menstrual periods a calcium intake of 800-1000 mg daily from food and/or supplements and about 1000 units vitamin d3 daily should help prevent bone loss. Moderate weight bearing exercise, avoidance of cigarettes and modest amounts of alcohol would also help.
