Understanding, Preventing and Overcoming Osteoporosis

By Jane A. Plant, Gill Tidey, Gillian Tidey

Book Overview

By reading this book and following the dietary and lifestyle advice it contains, we believe most of you will be able to dramatically cut your risk of ever suffering from the disease, and that those of you already suffering from osteoporosis will greatly improve your chances of increasing your bone strength and health, treating the disease, and regaining control of your lives. The conventional Western medical view is that osteoporosis is an inevitable part of ageing, and treatment is aimed at merely slowing bone loss, rather than restoring bone health. In this book, bestselling authors Professor Jane Plant and Gill Tidey take a radically different approach, based on studies and analysis of mainstream scientific literature, and provide compelling new evidence on the causes of the disease. They advise on how to get the best out of orthodox medicine, and give you a new dietary regime of delicious nutritious recipes. They advise on how to obtain the micronutrients that are essential for bone health, how to avoid bone-damaging pollutants, and which forms of exercise are suitable for different stages of osteoporosis, ages and personalities -- and much, much more. This book takes you through the details of a whole new diet and lifestyle, with seven Food Factors and eight Lifestyle Factors, aimed at improving your bone health, appearance and outlook. As in their earlier books on breast and prostate cancer, their aim is to present a diet and lifestyle that will empower you to fight your disease, and help you to work with your doctor to help yourself.
