Osteoporosis is the degeneration, or break down, of bone matrix. Osteoporosis cannot be reversed, but there are things that can be done to decrease the degeneration of bone in the body, like weight-bearing exercise. Walking and weight lifting is a fantastic way to keep your bones strong as well as taking in 1200mg of calcium a day with Vitamin D to help absorb the calcium. Talk with your doctor if this is a condition you are experiencing and need more information for dietary guidelines.
