Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by weak and brittle bones. While healthy bodies absorbs bone tissue to regenerate new ones, those suffering from osteoporosis seem to lack this ability. And this inability makes patients prone to fractures as a result of brittle bones. Herein, we discuss the best medications and natural remedies that help manage this condition. Natural remedies Patients can try these treatment options for managing osteoporosis: Having calcium and vitamin-D-rich foods Osteoporosis patients must include foods like nonfat/plant-based milk, low-fat yogurt, and juices and beverages that are fortified with vitamin D and calcium. Other foods abundant with vitamin D and calcium include broccoli, cauliflower, and leafy greens. Avoiding phosphorus-rich foods Foods that are a rich source of phosphorus must be avoided as this nutrient prevents the body from absorbing calcium. Foods like red meat and beverages like sodas, coffee, and alcoholic drinks must be cut down. Adopting an active lifestyle Include activities that help improve bone density, like walking, jogging, running, aerobics, weightlifting, and climbing. Such a lifestyle will help improve bone health by providing strength. Heat and ice therapy Hot showers and hot-water bags can relieve muscle pain can ease stiff muscles. On the other hand, ice packs are ideal for swelling reduction and alleviating pain.
