Healthy Bones:
What You Should Know About Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is basically a condition that most women go through in the
later years of their lives. It is a condition where the bones get
thinned and weakened so that they break easily. The bones that are more
prone to getting osteoporosis are the hip, wrist and backbone. Since
this is a disease that affects many women, Nancy Appleton set about
writing this book, Healthy Bones: What You Should Know About
Osteoporosis.
When
treating osteoporosis, patients are usually recommended drugs, expensive
treatments and lots of supplements. However all this is not always
feasible for all patients. So instead of actually treating the
osteoporosis condition, Dr. Appleton aims at looking at the causes of
osteoporosis, and what can be done to rectify the problem.
The main
point Dr. Appleton discusses in the 139 pages of the book is the science
of balancing a person's body chemistry. She discusses what actually
brings about calcium loss in the body, and what steps should be adapted
to correct the problem. People are generally of the attitude that the
consumption of dairy products is sufficient to maintain healthy bones.
However, this is not always true, as Dr. Appleton discloses. In fact,
sometimes too much dairy consumption may lead to osteoporosis instead of
preventing it!
Dr. Nancy
Appleton discusses the different factors that lead to osteoporosis; some
causes which we may never had actually heard of, or knew about! On
reading Healthy Bones: What
You Should Know About Osteoporosis, you may find it
interesting to learn that excess amounts of protein, sodium and sugar in
your diet may lead to osteoporosis. In fact, on reading the book, you
will basically solve the mystery of why the body loses calcium, and what
steps have to be taken to solve these problems without having to take
too many minerals.

information on how one’s diet and lifestyle dramatically affects the
body. In addition to all of this information, there are also many

If you have
ever wondered why, your friends and relatives who consumed so many dairy
products like cheese and milk, can still end up with fractured hips and
bones with a simple slip, you can find the answers in this book. You
will be truly amazed at some of the causes of osteoporosis upon reading
