What to do agains osteoporosis?

I am 50 years old, and I think osteoporosis is starting to get me already. What supplements and meds could help me to slow this process down, and stay healthy?

Here are some tips to naturally prevent osteoporosis:

• 1. Eat a nutritious diet with adequate calcium intake.
• 2. Avoid under-nutrition (i.e. eat enough food). This is particularly important in elderly females who don't have much of an appetite.
• 3. Supplement with vitamin D.
• 4. Participate in weight-bearing activity 3-5 days per week.
• 5. Avoid smoking, second-hand smoking and heavy drinking.
