Healthy Habits

Quit smoking: It’s not only bad for your heart, lung, skin, but bad for your bone health as well. Smokers also may absorb less calcium from their diets. If you smoke and think about quitting, start now!

Reduce alcohol: More than 2 drinks each day may accelerate your bone loss. And those who drink heavily are also more prone to fractures due to poor nutrition and an increased risk of falling.
