Boosting Calcium and Vitamin D

Calcium and vitamin D are essential for bone strength. Men can boost their intake through diet and supplements. Dairy products, leafy greens, and fortified foods are great sources of calcium, while sunlight and fish like salmon provide vitamin D. Ensuring adequate levels of these nutrients supports bone health and reduces fracture risk.

Staying Active

Regular physical activity is a powerful tool in preventing osteoporosis. Weight-bearing exercises like walking, jogging, and lifting weights help build and maintain bone density. Staying active not only strengthens bones but also improves balance, reducing the risk of falls and fractures.
