Osteoporosis causes bones to become weaker and more likely to break, but there are things we can all do to help look after our bones.

*Get enough calcium and vitamin D🥛 (ideal daily calcium intake for adults is 700mg (up to 1000mg for those undergoing osteoporosis drug treatment))
(3/3)
*Eat a healthy, balanced diet 🥦
*Include enough protein 🐟
*Keep active with weight-bearing and strengthening exercise 🚶
*Don’t smoke 🚭
*Keep alcohol within recommended limits 🍷
