Osteoporosis, Top Ten Foods to Prevent Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a bone disease that makes bones become weak and brittle. The word osteoporosis means 'porous bone' which is more prone to fractures. Osteoporotic bones have low mineral density and may break from a fall or even a cough or sneeze. Fractures due to osteoporosis are more likely to occur in the hip, spine and wrist. Older women are more likely to suffer from osteoporosis.

Bone mineral density test is the best way to check bone health. Osteoporosis can be prevented by following a diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, phosphorus, and magnesium. Regular exercise and limiting or avoiding alcohol consumption and smoking can also help.
