Nutrition
Nutrition, especially calcium, plays an important role in preventing osteoporosis. In people who have healthy bones, adequate calcium intake on a daily basis is necessary to maintain bone health.
Exercise
Exercise is an important step towards protecting your bones, as it helps protect your spine, slows the rate of bone loss, and builds muscle strength, which can prevent falls.
Rare Bone Diseases
Osteoporosis Canada has expanded its mandate to include rare bone diseases so that more Canadians can optimize their bone + muscle health.
