Osteoporosis is something that can happen to anyone irrespective of the gender. But yes, females are more prone to it. But then, it can always be avoided by taking care of few things when you are young. And if you want to save your body from having osteoporosis at a later age, which makes your bones brittle and fragile, then you must act now. Let's see how we can take care of our bones:-
1. Stay away from medicines: You cannot avoid medicines when you are having some serious problem. But don't make popping pills a habit. Because too much medication isn't good for your bones. Stopping self medication will take care of this problem largely.
2. Quit Smoking and caffeine: if you don't want to have bone-related problem then you must quit smoking and cut on caffeine. Along with lung problems, smoking also leads to osteoporosis.
3. Cold drinks: One should completely avoid cold drinks if one wants to save one's bones. Because of presence of phosphorus, cold drinks are harmful for bones. They not only make bones weaker but brittle too.
4. Eat green vegetables: Eating green vegetables is very good for bones since its has not only calcium but Vitamin K also which reduces the risk of bone fractures. So, the first thing you need to eat in abundance is green vegetables.
5. Regular tests: After 35 years of age, along with taking care of above-mentioned things, you must also have regular bone density tests so that you are also aware of how strong your bones are.
6. Direct Sunrays: Sunrays make our skin tanned. But it's better to have a tanned skin than to have brittle bones. Isn't it? Along with calcium, Vitamin D also helps in making bones stronger. Until you take vitamin D, taking calcium alone won't let you absorb it. So, for absorption of calcium, it's very important to take Vitamin D.
7. Yoga: Doing Yoga regularly can also save your bones from getting brittle and fragile at a later stage. So, must practice it daily without fail.
