In addition to taking BONIVA as directed by your healthcare provider, you probably know that there are lifestyle changes you can make to help build bone density, such as adopting a regular exercise program and eating a nutritious diet rich in calcium and vitamin D.

Due to a decrease in estrogen levels, loss of bone density speeds up in women after menopause. In fact, as women grow older, they may lose between 35 and 50 percent of their bone density. Since nearly one in two women over the age of 50 will experience an osteoporosis-related fracture in their lives, good bone health is essential—both before and after menopause.
