On this second to last day of May, we wanted to share information on National Osteoporosis Awareness and Prevention Month

🤷🏿‍♀️WHY IT MATTERS:
✅Approximately 54 million Americans live with osteoporosis or low bone density.
✅It affects 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men globally, and is responsible for millions of fractures annually.
✅Bone loss often occurs without symptoms until a fracture happens, making preventative screening essential.

🔑Key Prevention Strategies:
✅Dietary Intake: Ensure an adequate daily intake of calcium and Vitamin D.
✅Exercise: Engage in regular weight-bearing (e.g., walking, hiking, stair-stepping) and muscle-strengthening exercises.
✅Lifestyle: Avoid smoking and limit excessive alcohol consumption.

🏃ACTIONS:
✅Screening: Check your Medicare or private insurance coverage for routine bone mass measurements (bone density scans) to detect and manage bone loss early.
