The main methods for preventing bone diseases during menopause include the following:
1. **Balanced diet**: Consume adequate calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D through foods such as milk, dairy products, soy products, fish, and leafy green vegetables.
2. **Regular exercise**: Engage in moderate outdoor activities and physical exercise, such as walking, jogging, dancing, and gymnastics, to promote bone blood circulation and increase bone density.
3. **Healthy lifestyle habits**: Avoid smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and high intake of caffeine, as these habits can accelerate bone loss.
4. **Regular check-ups**: It is recommended to undergo a bone density test annually to monitor bone health. Individuals with reduced bone mass should take preventive and therapeutic measures early.
5. **Fall prevention**: Elderly individuals should take precautions in daily life to prevent falls and reduce the risk of fractures.
