#Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones break easily. About 70 percent of fractures in people over the age of 45 are related to osteoporosis, which is more common in women than in men. The loss of hormones that occur after women have gone through menopause causes their bones to become less dense, or thinner, and therefore are more prone to breaking. You can help prevent osteoporosis by: - Doing weight-bearing exercises, such as walking, stair climbing, jogging, yoga, and lifting weights - Getting 1,000-1,300 mg of calcium per day - Not smoking - Taking hormone replacement therapy #HRT Learn more about osteoporosis with National Osteoporosis Foundation nof.org/
