QUESTION:

How can I prevent osteoporosis?

ANSWER:

The best ways to prevent osteoporosis are to feed your bones and use your bones. This means staying active, eating a diet rich in plant foods filling in any gaps with a high-quality nutritional supplement containing key bone nutrients, and adopting practices that minimize stress. These are all components of the Better Bones philosophy developed by medical anthropologist Dr. Susan E. Brown, PhD, Women's Health Network’s bone health expert.
