Every morning my mother would repeat the mantra of mom’s everywhere: “Drink your milk! The calcium is good for your bones.” But drinking milk, and even taking calcium supplements, isn’t enough to prevent osteoporosis. Each year 1.5 million people suffer a bone fracture related to osteoporosis.
In her book, Strong Women, Strong Bones, Dr. Miriam Nelson outlines a plan for not only osteoporosis prevention, but also for gaining back bone density. (The front cover declares “you’re never too young or too old to start” taking care of your bones.)
The book weaves exercise and diet plans together in an easy-to-read format. I was impressed by how easily the modifications Dr. Nelson recommends fit into my current lifestyle—no lingering guilt about what I am or am not doing. Strong Women, Strong Bones, gave me the peace of mind that good bone health is achievable.
