Women are more at risk of developing osteoporosis than men. They have smaller bones which are less dense and the menopause accelerates bone loss. Osteoporosis can develop if periods have been missed (excluding pregnancy) as a result of over exercising or over dieting, an early hysterectomy or an early menopause.
Try to remember, to eat a balanced diet rich in calcium (found in milk, cheese, sardines, baked beans, leafy green vegetables) to keep your bones healthy and strong. Exercise regularly to maintain bone density making sure you include weight bearing activities such as walking, aerobics, jogging or playing tennis.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can help protect against osteoporosis. avoid smoking and drink alcohol in moderation can minimise the risks of developing Osteoporosis.
