The nurse is discussing actions that can be taken to best prevent osteoporosis with a patient. Which information should the nurse include?

A. A balanced diet is important for overall health, but it is not specific enough to be the best action for preventing osteoporosis. B. Calcium supplementation can help, but excessive supplementation without medical advice is not recommended as the best initial action. C. Weight-bearing exercise (like walking, jogging, or resistance training) stimulates bone formation and helps maintain bone density, making it one of the most effective ways to prevent osteoporosis. D. Increasing intake of milk products can help improve calcium intake, but without the mechanical stress of exercise, it is not as effective in preventing bone loss.
