(HealthDay News) — A healthier lifestyle can help ward off osteoporosis, a disease that causes brittle, thin and weak bones.
The American Council on Exercise offers these tips:

- Eat a diet rich in calcium and fiber, and low in fat.
- Get some safe sun exposure to promote vitamin D production.
- Don’t smoke.
