What helps improve osteoporosis without medication?

I believe one of the reasons my osteoporosis has become as bad as it is is that I have been on a PPI for 2 and 1/2 years.
I have read that you should be reevaluated after one year. Proton pump inhibitors are known to break down the bone.

The same with me. I’m 71 and had been on PPI for over 5 years. I had wanted to stop for other reasons but my PT warned me PPI can lead to bone loss. So my new Gastro doc is weening me off and replacing with Famotidine.
