Dear Reader, I help people avoid broken bones so they can enjoy their lives to the fullest. Every day in my medical practice, I work with women and men who have had weakened and broken bones to design a treatment program to lower their risk of more fractures. Today, I want to extend that help to you. Even after developing osteoporosis, you can take action to limit or reverse bone loss. In our new book, my colleagues and I share clear, practical guidance you can use right away … Factors known to affect your risk of osteoporosis Bone density tests to reveal 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 The book gives you the knowledge you need to take care of your bones, just as you care for your digestive health and your heart health. Our goal is to give you confidence in what you can do, or help others do, to keep the skeletal foundation standing strong. Order your copy of "Mayo Clinic on Osteoporosis" for only $19.99 – a very small price to pay for the possibility of avoiding future fractures and disability. |
