Although both men and women can develop osteoporosis, women are at greater risk for developing the disease, particularly after menopause. You can minimize your risk of osteoporosis through lifestyle changes, such as:

• Maintaining a regular exercise routine that includes weight-bearing exercises.
• Getting enough calcium and vitamin D.
• Minimizing caffeine and alcohol consumption and abstaining from smoking.

AllianceHealth Durant and Madill healthcare professionals and dietitians are available to help you incorporate healthy dietary and lifestyle habits to lower your risk of developing osteoporosis.
