A Book for the Boomer Generation!

How nice to finally read a medical book not cloaked in jargon that needs a university degree to comprehend. Authors O'Connor and Perkins have taken the topic of osteoporosis and written a book - in normal English -that explains it in terms everyone can understand. From the causes and symptoms to the foods and exercises that help control osteoporosis, this is THE book that anyone who suffers from it, or knows someone who suffers from it, should read!

Simply excellent

This book is all you need to understand and treat osteoporosis. Includes food, exercises, explanations and much, much more. Thanks

Do Your Bones a Favor (read this book)

Large print headings, symbols in the border(warning, tip, remember, technical stuff) and checklists make the info accessible.

The section headings give you an idea of the coverage: *Understanding Your Bones *Keeping Your Bones Healthy (eating/exercising) *Diagnosing and Treating Osteoporosis Some top ten lists fill out the book, plus a state-by-state review of osteoporosis programs and a glossary. Armed with the knowledge from this book, you can take an active role in managing your osteoporosis.
