Inside you'll learn-
How diet can help or hurt your bones
How food allergies contribute to osteoporosis
Which types of exercise are beneficial
Why vitamin K is as important for bones as calcium
And much more! ""A breakthrough approach to the successful treatment and/or prevention of osteoporosis."" -Health News & Review ""Clear and practical. This book will help thousands of women create healthy bones. And for those who already have osteoporosis, it provides solutions and hope."" -Christiane Northrup, M.D., F.A.C.O.G., bestselling author, Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom
