Our bones are usually strong and thick — we call that being dense. They help hold up our bodies, just like strong tree trunks keep a tree standing tall.

But in osteoporosis, bones become thin and weak, and they can break more easily. It’s a bit like an old tree — its branches get so fragile that they can snap with just your hands. Osteoporosis happens more often in older people, like grandmas and grandpas.

But don’t worry! Doctors can help!
They might recommend medicine, vitamins, and exercise to keep bones stronger and safer.
