Don't give her fizzy drinks... The acid in them contributes to osteoporosis.calcium supplements
milk
Doctors often provide calcium & vitamin D supplements. The best thing about calcium is that it also decreases the effects of PMS and is said to help maintain your weight. Anyway, milk or other dairy products simply don't provide enough calcium for a women's body. It's also harder for women's bodies to absorb calcium after the age of 19. The supplements will provide enough if taken properly and they don't have to taste awful. There are flavorful chewable tablets available. They can be tasty. Vitamin D also helps prevent bow legs. It's a condition that occurs due to lack of the vitamin and you end up having legs shaped like archery bows.
Fosamax-get the once weekly dosage form. Note: she has to be able to swallow tablets, sit upright for at least 30 minutes. It has been shown to slow down and even reverse calcium bone loss. Also, taking calcium and vitamin D will help the Fosamax. Weight-baring exercise will help as well. If she can handle it.There is a newer medicine for osteoporosis that is only taken once monthly called Boniva. That would be even more convenient.
I was just reading up on some Level I research articles at work and they concluded that Ca and Vit D actually will not effect osteoporosis. Sure it does not hurt you by any means but do not think that it is a cure. If possible think about hormone therapy from a doctor. It might be a little late for that but you never know.
