Clad in burqa? You may be risking osteoporosis

From [1] Hindustan Times:

“Women require a balanced diet, rich in calcium and Vitamin D. Women, particularly after menopause, are at higher risk and should maintain a good diet. They should exercise regularly, or at least take to brisk walking, jogging, dancing or simple weightlifting exercises.”
“Along with vitamin-rich food, sunlight too plays an active role in maintaining the right balance. However, both burqa-clad women and those sitting indoors most of the time do not get the necessary sunlight and as a result, they suffer from osteoporosis,” he said.
