Report

I am male gender 74 years old I have been getting my dexa scan every year or 1.5 years, in 2010 the report showed that I was in osteopenia. Range and for six year it remained in the same range varying slightly up and down now last year I got it done now some values are moving towards osteoporosis range, doctor says do some more efforts to move back what steps should be taken to improve, I have been taking vitamin d and calcium tablets as maintenance dose and these values are well within normal range, I do walk 35 minutes and some acnes and prayanams daily in diet I am conscious to take vegetables rich in calcium and milk and curd and cheese and lead active life travelling in buses and metro and do my works more in walking mode. Please suggest.
