Lifestyle changes that may help prevent development of osteoporosis include
a. reducing intake of animal protein.
b. eating a piece of fruit with lunch every day.
c. taking a daily multivitamin supplement.
d. taking a 30 minute walk most days.
D
Taking a 30 minute walk most days may help prevent development of osteoporosis because reg-ular exercise stimulates an increase in bone density. Eating vegetable versus animal protein, in-creasing intake of fruit, and use of multivitamin supplements are unlikely to prevent osteoporosis (although they may have other health benefits).
