Dear Reader,
Around 54 million Americans live with osteoporosis or low bone mass, but many don’t recognize the symptoms until it is too late. Before a bad fall or fracture renders you immobile, learn how to reduce your risk of developing osteoporosis, manage your day-to-day symptoms, and even treat the disease with the tools provided by Mayo Clinic on Osteoporosis.
Throughout your life, your bones are constantly rebuilding. But as you age, you run a greater risk of your new bone growth not being able to keep up with the old bone you’re losing. Osteopenia and osteoporosis develop when this imbalance makes bones weak and likely to break.
Osteoporosis is as preventable and treatable as it is common. With this book, you can reduce your risk of future fractures, stop bone loss, and even rebuild your low bone density. A healthy diet, the right kind of exercise and modern medications can help you manage osteoporosis effectively.
In this book, you’ll find clear, practical information on: Factors that affect your risk of osteoporosis Bone density tests to detect weak bones before a break Treatments to help stop bone loss and encourage new bone growth The best food and nutrients for strong bones Ways to reduce your risk of fractures and falls Exercises for building bone — and some to avoid with low bone mass Mayo Clinic on Osteoporosis offers the latest guidance in treatment and prevention. Learn how to take control of your bone health, lower your risk of fractures and continue the activities you enjoy.
