Strong Women, Strong Bones: Everything You Need to Know to Prevent, Treat, and Beat Osteoporosis by Miriam Nelson, Sarah Wernick Osteoporosis is a preventable and treatable disease characterized by decreasing bone mass. Strong Women, Strong Bones teaches women how to prevent and treat osteoporosis through exercise (strength training, weight-bearing aerobic exercise, stretching, and balance) and nutrition. Tufts University researcher Miriam Nelson and award- winning health writer Sarah Wernick again team up to bring you the latest science, translated to reader-friendly language and practical application. You learn how osteoporosis works, your personal risk factors, and exactly what to eat and what exercises to do to keep your bones strong. These authors have become popular because their information is up-to-date and based on cutting-edge research, so their advice is trustworthy and it works. And they make it simple; even if you haven't exercised frequently, you can follow their safe and clearly illustrated "bone-boosting workouts." What's more, their nutritional advice won't make you load up a shopping cart with an alphabet soup of supplements like many books-- instead, you'll load that shopping cart with fruits, vegetables, soy, high-calcium foods, and a calcium-vitamin D supplement. Men also get osteoporosis, and the authors briefly explain how they can adapt the nutrition and exercise advice to meet their needs. Highly recommended for consumer health collections.
