    One of the key goals of treating osteoporosis is to prevent fractures by preventing falls. Exercise that involves strength and balance training helps to prevent falls. Other recommendations which may reduce the risk of fractures include limiting alcohol and caffeine intake, stopping smoking, and increasing exposure to sunlight.[1]
