Putting this knowledge into action doesn't have to be overwhelming. Start by checking that you get enough calcium—around 1,000 mg daily for most adults, more if you're older. Pair calcium with vitamin D, which helps your body absorb the mineral. Add a few sessions of strength training each week to boost bone density and improve balance, a key factor in preventing falls. Review any long‑term meds with your doctor; if you’re on glucocorticoids, there may be protective strategies you can adopt. Simple home tweaks—removing loose rugs, installing grab bars, and ensuring good lighting—can cut fall risk dramatically. By weaving together nutrition, movement, medication review, and a safer environment, you create multiple layers of defense against fractures.
