Weight-bearing exercises help to build and maintain bone density. Smoking cessation is important because smoking is a risk factor for osteoporosis. Limiting alcohol consumption is important because excessive alcohol consumption can lead to bone loss. Supplemental iron and dietary teaching to increase protein intake are not necessarily indicated for a postmenopausal woman with osteoporosis on Evista. Prolonged bed rest can actually lead to bone loss.
