3.Get Physical Every Day
When you exercise regularly, your body responds by adding more bone. Adults who work out can help prevent bone loss that usually starts in your 30s. Bonus: Exercise builds muscles, which help improve your balance and coordination. So you may be less likely to fall in the first place.
4.Quit Smoking
Nearly 1 in 7 American adults smoke. It’s a known risk factor for osteoporosis. Nicotine and other chemicals in tobacco slow the production of bone-forming cells. They also hinder blood flow to your bones. The result is frail bones that are more apt to break. That can be a concern especially in your spine, which already doesn’t get much blood.
