May is Osteoporosis Awareness and Prevention Month. Lisa Peterson, Nutrition and Wellness Educator for the University of Illinois Extension recently told Regional Radio news why Osteoporosis Awareness and Prevention is so important.
One way to prevent Osteoporosis is through Vitamin D and Calcium. Peterson said some of the ways we can get these vitamins and minerals into our bodies.
Typically those at higher risk of Osteoporosis are those older adults, due to a reduced activity load. Peterson noted that one way that older adults can help prevent Osteoporosis other than diet, is to exercise regularly.
