Margaret,
Glad to hear you are taking positive action. Doing weights is supposed to help. I do this myself (I have a family history of osteoporosis)and taking more calcium supplements help. There are certain foodstuffs which reduce absorption of calcium such as calcium/phospate ratio (meat only diets will produce rickets in animals) and there is an ingredient in oats which binds calcium preventing its absorption (avoid porridge). Weight bearing exercise is also beneficial so aerobics is more beneficial than swimming. Good luck! Sharlee
