Beautiful Bones Without Hormones: The All-New Natural Diet and Exercise Program to Reduce the Risk of Osteoporosis and Keep Your Bones Healthy and Strong by Leon Root, Betty Kelly Sargent Hippocrates said, "Let food be your medicine, and medicine be your food." The author Leon Root, an orthopedic surgeon, agrees with this advice and presents compelling evidence as to why it's true. Osteoporosis, often called "the silent killer," affects both men and women. Root describes the disease and offers illustrations to emphasize its impact on the body. He explains who is at risk and why and includes ways to reduce risk factors. Although osteoporosis is commonly considered "a little old lady's disease," the author points out that the average woman now lives at least one-third of her life after menopause. Thus, she'd be wise to prepare for that stage of life. This is a practical, how-to book that provides readers with: A list of the new bone-building medications available. A 14-day, healthy, high-calcium diet A seven-day, healthy, high-calcium diet for vegetarians A diet for the lactose-intolerant. The book reminds readers that "bones need exercise like babies need love," and provides an illustrated exercise regime as well as a chapter on the safest aerobic and alternative therapies. The coup de grace is the cookbook at book's end. With recipes for The Famous French Croque-Monsieur Sandwich and Macaroni and Cheese, calcium never looked so good.
