Deficiencies, especially in vulnerable groups such as postmenopausal women and the elderly, can accelerate bone loss and increase fracture risk. A balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D—found in dairy products, leafy greens, fatty fish, and fortified foods—combined with regular weight-bearing exercise can prevent osteoporosis and improve recovery from bone injuries. Early nutritional intervention and consultation with healthcare professionals are crucial for those at risk of reduced bone mass to enhance quality of life and reduce complications related to fractures.
