These elements include:

  • Sufficient low impact weight-bearing activities (e.g. jogging, walking, water aerobics, light gardening, treadmill walking) for 2-3 times a week, at least to accumulate 30 minutes each time
  • Having healthy protein intake may have a protective effect on your bone structure
These should be avoided:
  • Smoking
  • Excessive intake of alcohol
  • Very high fibre diets
  • High sodium intake
