Exercises and vitamin D and Ca tablets are necessary for osteoporosis depending on the bone mineral density. Simple weight bearing exercises like sit to stand, hamstring curls,toe standing would be sufficient done,ten times each and twice a day. Also cycling or 30mins walk if possible.. consult a dietician for HB level since she requires more of iron content in her food intake.
