As our population ages, the loss of bone density and other effects of osteoporosis will be among our most serious health concerns. In fact, the natural regeneration of bone mass that keeps our bones strong and supple slows down dramatically as we grow older and nearly a third of women in thor post-menopausal years will become seriously affected by osteoporosis. Now, a pioneering natural health expert and the author of the classic work Food and Healing applies her proven natural strategies to this debilitating, but preventable, condition.
In Food and Our Bones, Annemarie Colbin shows that conventional treatments like estrogen therapy, calcium supplements, and prescription medications are not the answer to osteoporosis. In fact, many of us already get all the calcium we need, but offset its effects by our intake of other foods that deplete it from our system. Instead, Annemarie Colbin describes nature's own process of bone regeneration and shows how you can improve bone health through the kinds of foods you eat, as well as a program of bone-strengthening activity. Rounding out her holistic approach, the author discusses the emotional effects of aging especially for women. and shows how strong relationships and spiritual networks can enhance your overall health.
