This easy-to-understand guide helps readers assess their risk and find a practical approach to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of osteoporosis.

Do Your Bones a Favor (read this book), 2005-09-02
One easily finds needed information about osteoporosis through the user-friendly format of the Dummies guide. Large print headings, symbols in the border(warning, tip, remember, technical stuff) and checklists make the info accessible.
Having recently been horrified to be told I have osteoporosis, this book tells me what I needed to know. 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.
