Osteoporosis is a major health hazard as people age and once bones begin to thin, medications are necessary to prevent further loss. However, it is possible to follow a self-help programme of diet and exercise, which will build and maintain solid, healthy bones. This book contains dozens of recipes packed with ingredients that boost bone health, from breakfasts to main meals, as well as a specially devised home exercise regime that helps prevent or reverse the effects of bone loss. Readers can assess their current level of fitness and follow a full programme of weight-bearing and resistance exercises along with warm-up and cool down routines, whether they are super fit or have weak knees.
- A comprehensive range of exercises to build and maintain bones
- Information on adjusting the exercises to suit personal fitness, strength and flexibility levels
- Over 100 easy-to-prepare recipes
- A full explanation of bone structure and the various conditions that affect bone health
- Coverage of the medical treatments and medications currently prescribed for bone loss
National Osteoporosis Society offers support to people with osteoporosis, their families and carers. Their exercise experts, Dr. Joan Bassey and Susie Dinan, and cookery writers, Fiona Hunter and Emma-Lee Gow, were involved in the creation of this book.
