    A person can reduce their risk of bone fractures through diet, exercise, and lifestyle choices. Getting adequate calcium from foods like milk, cheese, and leafy greens as well as vitamin D from sunlight, eggs, and fish helps build strong bones. Engaging in weight-bearing exercise also improves bone density and muscle mass, lowering fracture risk, while dietary and lifestyle interventions may help reduce fracture risk for those with osteoporosis.

    FRACTURE

    Prevention

    A person can reduce their risk of bone fractures through a number of remedies and lifestyle changes.

    A person’s diet can affect their risk of fractures. The human body needs adequate supplies of calcium for
    healthy bones. Milk, cheese, yogurt, and dark green leafy vegetables are good sources of calcium.

    The body also requires vitamin D to absorb calcium. Exposure to sunlight and eating eggs and oily
    fish are good ways of getting vitamin D.

    Engaging in weight-bearing exercise can help improve muscle mass and bone density. Both of these can


    reduce the risk of bone fractures.

    ResearchTrusted Source has shown that regular exercise and a balanced diet can reduce the risk of a
    fracture in people with osteoporosis.

    Moreover, levels of estrogen, which plays a role in bone health, drop substantially during menopause.


    This makes calcium regulation more difficult and increases the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.

    Consequently, people need to be particularly careful about the density and strength of their bones
    during and after menopause.
