Osteoporosis is one of the risk factors of falls among older adults. Preventive measures such as eating or drinking sufficient calcium is therefore advised. Calcium-rich foods include milk, yogurt, cheese, fish and shellfish, selected vegetables such as broccoli, soybeans, collards and turnip greens, tofu and almonds. Sufficient Vitamin D can help you enhance the absorption of calcium into the bloodstream. Vitamin D is formed naturally in the body after exposure to sunlight, but some older adults may need a supplement.
