Adequate calcium intake, exercise crucial for young adults to prevent osteoporosis, say experts

The Hindu  

“Adequate calcium intake, regular physical activity, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption are essential for preventing bone loss in young adults,” experts said at a recent webinar on osteoporosis organised by Naruvi Hospitals, Vellore in collaboration with The Hindu. Dr. Chaitanya also outlined key risk factors for osteoporosis, including age, gender, low body weight, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and a family history of the disease. Dr. Seshadri stressed that adequate calcium intake, especially from dairy products, and regular outdoor activity are crucial for building strong bones during the growth years. “Unfortunately, modern lifestyles, with academic pressures and increased screen time, often limit calcium intake and physical activity, making supplements necessary in some cases,” he said.
