🦴 “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.
