Living Day to Day with Severe Osteoporosis: 2012 Update

Living Day to Day with Severe Osteoporosis-2012 Update tells the reader what it is like to live with osteoporosis, the fastest growing epidemic, beginning at a young age. The book describes what osteoporosis is, what causes osteoporosis, methods of testing, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, medication and provides manufacturers web site addresses for detailed information. It explains the importance of a calcium enriched diet, and includes calcium-enriched recipes and web site addresses for more recipes, along with exercise and fall safety tips. And since osteoporosis does not discriminate, there is a chapter just for men.
