Recently, Woolwich Community Health Centre hosted a workshop on "Osteoporosis 101," featuring a guest speaker from Osteoporosis Canada. The volunteer shared valuable insights on understanding osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures. The session highlighted the importance of prevention, including lifestyle choices like proper nutrition and regular exercise. We also had our dietitian present to give her insight into the relationship between diet and osteoporosis. Educating our community about osteoporosis is crucial for promoting bone health and reducing the likelihood of serious injuries as we age. Here are some resources from the session below:
