It can also help prevent muscle and bone loss, reducing your risk of falling and breaking bones. For easy-to-follow recommendations on healthy eating, see Canada’s food guide. The guide also provides tips for older adults. In addition to following Canada’s food guide, when it comes to preventing falls and fall-related injuries, 2 elements in particular are essential: calcium and vitamin D. Calcium Calcium helps lower your chances of falling and the risk of injury caused by falls because it makes your bones strong. How much calcium your body absorbs depends on the food it's coming from, so it is important to vary its sources.
