Prevent Osteoporosis: Experts Urge Early Habits for Lifelong Bone Health
•Osteoporosis is a progressive, silent disease; prevention must begin early, long before symptoms appear.
•Dr. Vivek Mahajan emphasizes proactive care from a young age through proper nutrition, physical activity, and regular monitoring.
•Crucial nutrients include calcium (milk, paneer, leafy greens) and Vitamin D (15-20 mins daily sunlight exposure) for bone density.
•Weight-bearing exercises (walking, dancing, yoga) stimulate bone formation and reduce fall risk; avoid smoking, excessive alcohol, and sedentary lifestyle.
•Dr. Pushkar Chawla highlights that bone density peaks around age 30; early screening is vital for those over 50, post-menopausal women, or with family history.
