regular exercise for strength and flexibility, not thinness.
good diet, like proper nutrition/nutrients, and vitamins if needed.
getting enough sleep.
keeping tabs on all family histories, addressing them every 6-12 months with your doctor.
getting a full physical every 12 months or so, if insurance allows.
and of course, keeping all smoking, drinking, and drug use to 0%.

making sure you have a good diet, with healthy oils and lots of calcium and vitamin d, should help. the oils will be good for your joints, the calcium and vit d for your bones. get some regular weight bearing exercise as this reduces the chance of getting osteoporosis, as weight bearing exercise strengthens the bones. vit d can come from sunlight and also protects the bones.
regular exercise and keeping flexible will help reduce the chance of falls too.
