Well, nutrition is believed to be a huge factor in developing osteoporosis. Not getting enough vitamin D and calcium, can be contributing factors. You should try to consume foods with high amounts of calcium, for those interested you should check out the cookbook Calcium Rich Recipies. This book will give you a good starting point in making sure you get enough calcium in your diet. You should also look into dietary supplements to increase your calcium levels. If you want to look into a drink versus pills, Ensure is a good drink for this. You should also look at staying active to help, which can promote increased bone density.
