Summary of Strong Women, Strong Bones: Everything you Need to Know to Prevent, Treat, and Beat Osteoporosis
"Miriam Nelson's work shatters all the crippling myths we have inherited about the inevitability of weakness, deterioration, and osteoporosis as we age." ---Christiane Northrup, M.D. author of Women's Bodies, Women's WisdomOsteoporosis develops invisibly. Starting around age thirty-five (or even earlier) women lose up to one percent of their bone mass each year. Often symptoms don't appear for decades. And then a bone breaks. Many women experience problems not obviously associated with fragile bones: chronic back pain, dowager's hump, a protruding tummy. But the cause is osteoporosis and twenty-eight million Americans are affected.
Now we know that osteoporosis afflicts women as young as twenty--and it is preventable. In this comprehensive, user-friendly book, Nelson details steps to fortify bones and avoid this debilitating disease.
Strong Women, Strong Bones features a self-test to assess risk; the most accurate bone-density tests; nutrition recommendations that go beyond calcium and vitamin D; bone-boosting workouts, with illustrated instructions; medications that offer new hope; and a special chapter for men (who develop osteoporosis, too).
Based on the latest scientific information, and including up-to-the-minute practical advice on the best nutrition, exercise, and medication, Strong Women, Strong Bones is the guide for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

The Strong Women have done it again. First Strong Women Stay Young broke new ground by showing women how strength training--exercising with weights or against resistance--can delay the signs of aging. Then Strong Women Stay Slim showed women how strength training could keep the pounds off. Now Strong Women, Strong Bones teaches women how to prevent and treat osteoporosis through exercise (strength training, weight-bearing aerobic exercise, stretching, and balance) and nutrition. Tufts University researcher Miriam Nelson and award- winning health writer Sarah Wernick again team up to bring you the latest science, translated to reader-friendly language and practical application. You learn how osteoporosis works, your personal risk factors, and exactly what to eat and what exercises to do to keep your bones strong. These authors have become popular because their information is up-to-date and based on cutting-edge research, so their advice is trustworthy and it works. And they make it simple--even if you haven't exercised since high school (and even if high school was a very long time ago!) you can follow their safe and clearly illustrated "bone-boosting workouts." Their nutritional advice won't make you load up a shopping cart with an alphabet soup of supplements like many books--instead, you'll load that shopping cart with fruits, vegetables, soy, high-calcium foods, and a calcium-vitamin D supplement. "Support your bones," advise the authors. "They support you." Strong Women, Strong Bones shows you how. --Joan Price
