DEMOLISHES THE MILK MYTH!
Appleton's well-documented yet reader-friendly book shows that maintaining healthy bones is not based merely on ingesting dairy products, despite what the billboards proclaim.In fact, she shows us that excess dairy consumption can actually CAUSE osteoporosis.Since I can't eat dairy foods, I found much reassurance in her book.For a long time I wondered why the heavy milk and cheese eaters I have known seemed to lose their teeth, bow their backs, and break their hips in spite of all the calcium they had consumed.Appleton explains that there are other factors which cause osteoporosis which we don't hear about in the mainstream press, such as excess protein, sodium, and sugar.I've been following her suggestions for about a year, and my forty-seven-year-old bones and joints are feeling very good these days.

Homeostasis key to Osteoporosis
Your bones are more than your calcium/magnesium balance. This book takesthe mystery out of understanding why the body loses calcium and how we canreverse the problem without massive doses of minerals. The key isunderstanding how our diet and lifestyle damages our bodies efforts to stayin balance, homeostasis. I read the older edition of this book and maybe ithas improved in the area of recipies and nutrition but the theory is great. If the new edition has the latest nutrition information aboutglyconutritionals and biochemical balance then I would up the grade to fivestars. ... Read more

Very strongly recommended reading for anyone having to deal with the condition of osteoporosis in their family or family history
Very strongly recommended reading for anyone having to deal with the condition of osteoporosis in their family or family history and is seeking to avoid bone loss themselves, Osteoporosis Prevention: A Provocative Approach To Strong Bones And Good Health by consumer writer Renee Newman is a competent and thoroughly "reader friendly" approach to preventing osteoporosis. Inclusive of information on how to: help prevent osteoporosis and broken bones; get enough calcium and other bone nutrients from food; make exercise safe and fun; retain a youthful posture; select a bone density center; get maximum benefit from your bone density exam; understand bone density reports; avoid being duped by advertising; help seniors maintain their muscles and their bones; how medical professionals can motivate patients; and how to be a savvy patient. Osteoporosis Prevention should be a part of every community health center and public library Health & Medicine reference collection for non-specialist general readers.
A GREAT SOURCE OF INFORMATION ON OSTEOPOROSIS
This book is very well written, easy to understand and organized in such a way that makes it very easy to grasp important information on a complicated subject.It gave me great information on how I can be more proactive in my treatment of osteoporosis.The information on getting all of your test results from your physician makes perfect sense for addressing specific areas in your body that need to be strengthened.This is a great book for anyone with osteoporosis or osteopenia to gain a thorough understanding of what osteoporosis is and what your role in your heath can be.The quizzes in each chapter help to reinforce the important information that is covered in the book.I have read numerous books on this subject and I also have exercise videos specific to osteoporosis.This is by far the best "hands on" book on the subject. I am getting copies for my sisters as well since they have the same issues with bone health that I do.

An indispensable guide to bone health!
This well-referenced book gives a thorough yet concise overview of what you should do to maintain your bones. It doesn't just tell you to exercise, it outlines the types of exercises that experts have found best for building bone in the various areas of your skeleton, and it emphasizes the importance of having professionals guide you and check your form.

Outwitting Osteoporosis is indispensable for anyone seeking to insure a strong, active future.

No wonder they're raving about this book!by "John K."
If you read Consumer Reports magazine you're familiar with the clear, understandable, truly helpful information and style.OUTWITTING OSTEOPOROSIS is even better!The book was urged on me by an enthusiastic woman friend (I'm a guy) who is also a women's health professional and teacher.I read the whole book -- not only because it was so interesting, but so well organized and well written.You will quickly find your appreciation and gratitude soaring for the bones that literally support all the rest of your body.And as you learn more, your appreciation increases!I've never read a book that does that, nor one that GIVES so much!Osteoporosis is a stealthy, mean disease.Our ignorance allows it to severely ruin our lives (yes, certainly including men) and those of other people we care about.Well, it's not going to ruin mine!It will probably SAVE mine!And for that I'm even more appreciative and grateful to the authors -- and to the friend who urged me to read it.Thank you all! ...
