Look after your bones

If you have weaker bones, they’re more likely to break if you fall over. So stronger bones could make any injury you have much less serious.

How to reduce your risk

Keep your bones healthy and strong by eating calcium-rich foods, do weight-bearing exercises and get enough Vitamin D. It’s recommended that people over 65 take a 10microgram supplement of Vitamin D every day.
