A poor diet, without sufficient vitamins and minerals can affect energy levels, muscle strength and bone health. A healthy and varied diet can do much to prevent problems.

Ensure that your diet contains ample calcium and Vitamin D to reduce the risk of bone fracture.

Ask your Doctor or other health care professional for advice about your diet, or a referral to a Dietitian.
