Serve up Bone Strength throughout your life

OIFE had a nice informal meeting with the International Osteoporosis Foundation in Nyon, Switzerland. One of the shared interests for people with OI and the more common osteoporosis is to eat healthy. Even if it’s not a cure, it is even more important for us to eat healthy,
to keep our bones as good as they can get.

Check out their brochure “Serve up Bone Strength throughout your life”! From this webpage it’s available in 11 different languages. Bon apetit!

Healthy Bones Australia is a national public awareness program with a key focus on the prevention of osteoporosis. An initiative of Osteoporosis Australia, its aim is to improve the bone health of all Australians, and to help everyone lead a fit and active lifestyle throughout their life.

OI varies in severity from person to person, ranging from a mild type to a severe type that causes death before or shortly after birth.
