Exercises for Osteoporosis, Third Edition: A Safe and Effective Way to Build Bone Density and Muscle Strength and Improve Posture and Flexibility

The definitive and easy-to-follow exercise guide for maintaining healthy, strong bones.

More than 25 million Americans, almost 10% of our population, suffer from osteoporosis. While it is often thought of as an old woman’s disease, about 20% of osteoporosis sufferers are men and a growing number of young women, especially athletes, are being diagnosed with the disease.

■ Targeted exercises for at-risk body parts including hips, spine, wrists, and ankles

Better Bones, Better Body : Beyond Estrogen and Calcium

Dr. Susan Brown is an anthropologist who notes dietary and lifestyle differences in Western countries, which exhibit widespread osteoporosis, and Asian countries, where this disease and various problems (including menopausal discomforts) seem rare. She emphasizes that osteoporosis is not a normal aging process nor a strictly female malady. She explains that the building and breakdown of bone is a continual process intimately related to many body processes. She lucidly details the mechanisms of this "bone remodeling." She discusses risk factors for osteoporosis: heredity, body type, sedentary lifestyle, SAD (Standard American Diet), endocrine imbalances, and hormonal disturbances (abetted by tubal ligation, hysterectomy, ovarectomy). Brown notes early signs of trouble in small items like weak fingernails, irregular periods, excessive plaque formation, leg cramps at night, lower back pain. She advocates various modalities to reverse osteoporosis by whole body approaches involving maximizing nutrient intake, strenghtening the disgestive system, and developing an alkaline diet. She cites specific studies on progesterone (Dr. John Lee) and nutritional supplements (Dr. Guy Abraham) and exercise (Dr. Dalsky). This book is clear enough for the layman with ample references for the professional. The book gives you insight to what is happening inside your body and how you can take steps to stop or reverse osteoporosis. Dr. Brown's "whole body balance" approach will have you stepping out, enjoying veggies, and learning about soy and progesterone on the way to stronger bones.

The Myth of Osteoporosis

The Myth of Osteoporosis is a research-based work that provides clear insight into the myths of osteoporosis. These myths motivate both patient and physician into a lifetime of unnecessary testing and drug therapy — therapy that can in fact be life-threatening. Gillian Sanson's well-documented explanation of these myths can spare women great anxiety. She takes the fear out of aging and restores women's sense of control over their bodies. She gives women good reasons for challenging the common way that osteoporosis is handled in the United States and in many other industrialized nations.

Osteoporosis: An Exercise Guide

One of the most practical exercise guides written to help fight against osteoporosis and low bone mass. Ms. Bissinger utilizes her years of experience teaching and treat patients to create an easy to use, simple exercise guide. Beautifully illustrated, the exercises offer an effective program to improve strength, balance, and posture. Thanks to her years as a physicial therapist, she has provided an unique section illustrating safe ways to perform many activities one performs on a daily basis. Safe ways to perform simple acts such as sitting, lifting, and sneezing are demonstrated in her section on "activities of Daily Living".

As a physician, I recommend this book to all my patients who are concerned about osteoporosis. It is written by a physical therapist who has chosen specific exercises that can strengthen bones. The book is beautifully illustrated and very simple to follow. I advise any patient who wants to begin exercising to start with this book. I wish there were more books available that were as concise and helpful to one's overall health.
