Don't smoke. Smoking increases rates of bone loss and the chance of fracture. Avoid excessive alcohol. Consuming more than two alcoholic drinks a day might decrease bone formation. Being under the influence of alcohol also can increase your risk of falling. Prevent falls. Wear low-heeled shoes with nonslip soles and check your house for electrical cords, area rugs and slippery surfaces that might cause you to fall. Keep rooms brightly lit, install grab bars just inside and outside your shower door, and make sure you can get into and out of your bed easily. Alternative medicine there is limited evidence that certain supplements, such as vitamin k-2 and soy, can help lower fracture risk in osteoporosis, but more studies are needed to prove benefits and determine risks.
