Here are things you can try to prevent weakened bones and osteoporosis: Meet the daily requirements for calcium in your diet or through a supplement. Get enough vitamin D through sun exposure, a healthy diet, and/or a supplement.  Do weight-bearing exercises like walking, dancing, or strength-training. Talk with your doctor about avoiding medications that can weaken your bones. Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption. Share information from Osteoporosis: The Bone Thief, an AgePage from the National Institute on Aging at NIH with anyone you know who might be at risk for osteoporosis.
