Many sufferers of Osteoporosis often only realize that something is amiss when they break a bone. Occurring most often in the spine, hip and wrist, the simple acts of daily life, such as bending over, coughing, or lifting, can be all it takes to collapse a vertebra. The disease can moderated in multiple ways, including performing bone-healthy exercises, taking steps to prevent falls, and increasing your intake of Vitamin D and Calcium.
