Risk of Osteoporosis

1) Stay physically active. Take the stairs instead of the lift; Brisk walking daily for about one hour or jogging, cycling or swimming or doing yoga are useful measurers.

2) Eat a variety of whole plants foods, avoid animal foods; calcium is available in plenty in plant foods such as 'niwithi', legumes such as beans and leafy vegetables. Stay away from refined carbohydrates like sugary cereals, candies, plain pastas and white breads.

3) Keep your salt intake to a minimum. Avoid highly processed and packaged foods which contain excess salt.

4) Don't be deceived by misleading TV ads about milk foods which the dairy industry claims to prevent osteoporosis.
