KOTHARI HOSPITAL - NAGPUR,
Today is World Osteoporosis Day. Osteoporosis makes the bones weak, and it gives no warning. Worldwide, 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men above 50 will break a bone because of it. A few simple steps help:
Eat well: Calcium, vitamin D and protein keep the bones strong.
Stay active: Walk daily and take the stairs.
Get tested: If you are above 50, ask your doctor about a bone density test.
Prevent falls: For elderly patients, keep the bed low, the floor dry and the call bell within reach.
Strong bones. Fewer falls.
