Strong Bones, Strong Life – Your Daily Osteoporosis Prevention Plan

 

🦴 “Bones Don’t Talk, But They Break”

Your bones may not complain like your skin or your stomach,

but trust us—they remember everything.

Osteoporosis doesn’t come with a warning.

It sneaks in quietly, until one day, a small fall leads to a big fracture.

Let’s flip the script—today is the day we start caring for our bones like VIPs!


✅ 3 Steps to Keep Your Bones Rock Solid

1. Move it or lose it!

  • Your bones need weight-bearing activity to stay strong.

  • Fast walking, stair climbing, resistance band training, and squats are excellent choices.

  • Aim for 2–3 sessions per week, 1 hour each.

2. Eat for your bones

  • Calcium: 800–1,200 mg/day

  • Vitamin D: At least 1,000 IU/day

  • Foods to love: milk, cheese, tofu, sardines, eggs, leafy greens

  • Foods to limit: salty snacks, soda, too much caffeine

  • Don’t forget sunlight for that free dose of Vitamin D!

3. Get tested. Take action.

  • Women over 50 (especially postmenopausal) should get a bone density scan (DXA).

  • If needed, consider medications like bisphosphonates, or injectable treatments.

  • Adherence is key—whether it’s a pill, injection, or a patch, sticking to your plan matters.





🎯  “Healthy Bones, Happy Life”

You don’t need to see your bones to appreciate them.

They carry you through your day, every single step.

With just a little effort now—smart exercise, mindful eating, and regular checkups—

you can walk strong for decades to come.

So let’s raise a glass of milk (or almond milk!) and toast to stronger bones!
