More than 40 million Americans either already have osteoporosis or are at high risk due to low bone mass. The only way to detect osteoporosis is to have a screening. Diet and exercise are very important in osteoporosis control and prevention. Regular exercise and the consumption of dairy products and leafy greens aid in osteoporosis prevention.
