Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by weak and brittle bones, increasing the risk of fractures. It commonly affects older adults, especially women post-menopause, due to hormonal changes. However, lifestyle factors like poor diet and lack of exercise also contribute.

Calcium and vitamin D are essential for bone health. Dairy products, green leafy vegetables, and fortified foods are excellent sources of calcium, while sunlight exposure helps your body produce vitamin D. Weight-bearing exercises like walking, jogging, and resistance training strengthen bones and improve density.

At Vasavi Hospital, we offer bone density tests to assess the risk of osteoporosis. For patients diagnosed with the condition, our specialists provide a combination of dietary guidance, medications, and physical therapy to slow bone loss and prevent fractures.

Taking proactive steps to maintain strong bones ensures better mobility and quality of life as you age. Visit Vasavi Hospital for expert advice and care tailored to your needs.
