Expert information on preventing brittle bones and staying active and independent.
 
Thanks to advances at the world-renowned Mayo Clinic and elsewhere, osteoporosis, the brittle bone disease that contributes to premature aging, can be effectively managed or even avoided. We no longer have to tolerate the pain and disability osteoporosis once caused.
 
That's just the start of the good news you'll find in this newly updated edition of Mayo Clinic Guide to Preventing and Treating Osteoporosis. This book brings you a take-charge approach to preventing, diagnosing, and managing osteoporosis. You'll find detailed guidance to promote better bone health through diet, supplements, exercise, medications and more:
 
· Learn how to reduce your risk of fracture due to falling
· Read about the role of good posture, fitness, balance and coordination
· Discover the good news on the latest advances in medications for osteoporosis
· Learn how to choose the treatment options that are best for you
 
These strategies, together with support from others and the guidance of your personal physician, can offer you the best opportunity to prevent bone loss and continue to live an active, full, and independent life.
