Osteoporosis is a condition in which bone mass declines to such an extent that fractures occur with minimal trauma. Increasing calcium and vitamin D intake is a major preventive measure. Other measures to reduce the risk include engaging in weight-bearing exercise such as walking. Swimming, although a beneficial exercise, is not a weight-bearing exercise. Taking vitamin A supplements would have no effect on preventing bone loss. Following a low-fat diet would be helpful in reducing the risk for cardiovascular disease.
