Product Description

Product Description

One in three women and one in 12 men over the age of 50 in the UK already suffer from osteoporosis, and every three minutes someone has a fracture due to osteoporosis. In the USA it is predicted that one in two women and one in eight men over 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture at some time in their lives. In Canada, more women die each year as a result of osteoporosis fractures than from breast and ovarian cancer combined. This book aims to help you learn how to prevent osteoporosis, improve your chances of increasing your bone strength and health if you suffer from osteoporosis and discover how to get the best out of orthodox medicine. The book also offers information about the fundamental importance of diet and lifestyle along with providing recipes for a new dietary regime. Above all, it aims to help you discover a diet and lifestyle that should empower you to prevent and combat the disease.


From the Publisher

After the extraordinary success of Your Life in Your Hands, the bestselling and groundbreaking guide to understanding and overcoming breast cancer, Professor Jane Plant has produced this revolutionary new book on osteoporosis. Professor Plant is one of Britain’s most respected scientists and, along with her friend and fellow scientist Gill Tidey, has carried out an extensive study into the ways in which nutrition can be used to help conquer disease. This thoroughly researched and easy-to-follow guide contains many healthy and nutritious recipes to help those facing this debilitating condition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Healthy bones, 13 May 2009
By Olivia "Olivia" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Understanding, Preventing and Overcoming Osteoporosis (Paperback)
I found this book very helpful, and quite inspiring. The author is highly qualified to write about this topic, and does so in an unpatronising way. At first glance, the book is serious and factual in its approach, so I found it a bit daunting - there are some difficult-looking graphs and tables. But if you persevere a bit, the text is very easy to follow - and the message about how to look after the health of your bones rings clear. The author makes a good case for not necessarily following everything told you by conventional doctors, but reminds you to listen to what they say, and draw your own conclusions about how to maintain bone health.

4.0 out of 5 stars Putting your mind at rest, 14 May 2009
By KS Macfadyen "Kath Mac" (Devon) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Understanding, Preventing and Overcoming Osteoporosis (Paperback)
I sent off for this book because members of my family suffer from Osteoporosis and I had seen it previously in the Library. I am lactose intolerant and avoid dairy produce. I found it helpful as it has surprising conclusions about dairy produce. I've stopped worrying about not having milk as I have a varied diet otherwise. For those who aren't sure what to eat there is a helpful section of recipes and so on. The only reason I'm only giving it 4 stars is it has too much to absorb and I haven't finished reading it. Maybe an edited version would be a good idea.

5.0 out of 5 stars Prostrate Cancer - Jane Plant, 14 Feb 2009
By Healing Hands (Renfrewshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Understanding, Preventing and Overcoming Osteoporosis (Paperback)
Anything by Jane Plant has to be taken seriously by anyone concerned or in an actual cancer health situation. Her way of writing is clear, it gives sensible advice whether undergoing radium or chemo treatments, before and after. She is a survivor herself and her take on Dairy product's part in the increasing incidences of cancer just should not be ingnored. Highly recommend
