A majority of women face the threats of osteoporosis, a disease that weakens the bones and leaves them vulnerable to breaking. You see, osteoporosis doesn't happen overnight. It takes a lifetime to develop. So if you act now, you can help protect your skeleton from this insidious disease. The best prescription for your bone health?
