Osteoporosis causes 8.9 million fractures yearly worldwide and your risk increases with age.

✅ Incorporating resistance and strength training exercises in your exercise routine
✅ Ensuring adequate intake of Calcium and Vitamin D in your diet through leafy greens, fish such as salmon, and non-fat dairy
✅ Minimizing alcohol intake
✅ Avoiding tobacco use
✅ Consult with your doctor about your risk of osteoporosis and begin age and risk-appropriate screening on time.
