How to Prevent Fractures as You Age

Speciality: Orthopedics

Description:

As we age, our bones naturally become more fragile, increasing the risk of fractures. Preventing fractures starts with building and maintaining strong bones through a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D. Regular weight-bearing exercises, like walking or gentle resistance training, help keep bones and muscles strong. It's also important to prevent falls by keeping your living space free from tripping hazards and ensuring good lighting. Regular check-ups with your doctor can help monitor bone health and discuss medications if needed. Small lifestyle adjustments can make a big difference in protecting your bones and maintaining independence as you age.
