Produktbeschreibung

Osteoporosis is a disease without any symptoms until you suddenly break a bone. If you break a hip, you are quite likely to be dead within a year. Start now to take your bone health seriously! Read this book to educate yourself about osteoporosis and learn how to strengthen your bones for life. Osteoporosis is usually preventable. Osteoporosis prevention is far easier than reversal. Loss of bone is a big problem in both hormone-deficient women and men. Eventually it limits mobility and can be fatal. When the problem gets bad enough, traditional physicians prescribe bisphosphonates, like Boniva, which have side effects, like scarring in the esophagus and the creation of abnormal, fragile bone. Pharmaceutical drugs used to treat osteoporosis may build bone, but it is of poor quality and results in an increase in bone fractures in the third or fourth year of use. At the top of the list for those at risk for bone loss are sex hormone-deficient men and women. Of all the things you can do to prevent osteoporosis, one stands out. That is hormone optimization. The loss in hormones at menopause is the reason why 80% of the people who develop osteoporosis are women. When a man's testosterone levels drop, his bone density drops too. If optimal hormones are not achieved, the chances of success in the treatment of osteoporosis are greatly minimized. In addition to sex-hormone deficiencies, other hormonal imbalances can lead to bone loss, too. Frailty is a big driver of mortality. Frailty syndrome occurs when an elderly person loses muscle mass, bone mass, proper functioning of the immune system, and develops neurological problems and anemia. Don't let sarcopenia and frailty syndrome catch you unaware. If the bone scan should show osteoporosis, then we need to evaluate for possible causes of frailty syndrome. Read "Strong Bones for Life: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding and Managing Osteoporosis." Get valuable tips on testing, fall prevention strategies, how to manage daily life with osteoporosis, cope with pain and fractures, deal with emotions, and find support networks and other resources. Find out about alternative therapies, proper diet and exercise, detoxification, supplements, mind-body practices, and promising advances in research and future developments. Empower yourself to be proactive in preventing and managing osteoporosis in order to maintain bone health and reduce the risk of fractures.
