Caring Your Bones Today for the Future - E-book - ePub

Incidents of bone fractures are on the rise due to the progressive rate of osteoporosis. The cost associated with bone fractures is very high and anticipates doubling within the next three decades. Fifty per cent of all adults older than 50 are at risk of at least a broken bone in their lifetime and should be concerned about their bone health. Older people might say it is age-related. That might be so, but some live their entire lifetime to old age without a broken bone.
What is the difference? Why is there a sudden prevalence of osteoporosis? Why are one in two women and one in four men at risk of a broken bone in their lifetime due to osteoporosis?Your diet and lifestyle have a significant bearing on the fragility of your bones. Specific nutrients in suggested proportion, combination and volume are what you need to ingest daily to optimize your bone health. This book provides the answers as it focuses on the nutrients for bone health, their best food sources and the volume you need to ingest. Calcium by itself will not preserve your bone to prevent osteoporosis.
