Product Description
Product Description
Osteoporosis, which afflicts more than half of all women over the age of fifty, is a widespread and all-too-familiar problem. Osteopenia, a milder bone-loss disease that is the forerunner of osteoporosis, is less well known but affects millions of young and middle-aged women including women in their late teens and early twenties. Since many doctors associate low bone density exclusively with postmenopausal women, millions of women in their childbearing years suffer from undetected bone loss, putting them at risk for debilitating fractures down the road. In Reversing Osteopenia, Dr. Harris H. Mcllwain and his two daughters, also rheumatologists, fill the knowledge gap about this easily diagnosable disease, help younger women recognize the risk factors for bone loss, and provide a five-step program for controlling and even preventing bone loss. Their age-specific recommendations for women in their twenties, thirities, forties, and fifties include: Exercises that strengthen rather than threaten your bones; New information about foods that build bone density; Ways to avoid medicines that rob bones of their strength; Recommendations of natural dietary supplements; This ground breaking book offers new hope for young women at risk for osteopenia.

I found this book useful in the sense that it confirmed and expanded on the things i already knew about osteopenia. It's also great to have a book which focuses on osteopenia, rather than just full-blown osteoperosis. The case studies are interesting as they look at different ages, genders, and lifestyles and examine how the people came to have osteopenia and how they could work to reverse the effects. I liked this aspect as it didn't assume the reader to be over 50, as a lot of other osteopenia/osteoperosis books seem to do. It also contains useful information about foods and their calcium contents, different calcium and mineral supplements, t-scores, and bone strengthening exercises, amongst other things. A general, but useful and informative book.

Bought this book after reading up about it on another site,I thought it was about using natural cures,and I do not want to use artificial means to try and manage the Osteopenia there some interesting facts in the book but like all information regarding osteoporosis and osteopenia I found it to be ambiguous and a bit contadicting what one doctor tells you another will tell you the opposite so still confused as to what treatment.
