Living Day to Day with Severe Osteoporosis, 2012 Update is by Alice V. Roberts. At the age of 39, Alice was diagnosed with severe osteoporosis by doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, AZ. Alice had the bone density expected for someone in their 80’s. At age 49, Alice had bones like a woman in her 90’s and was forced to leave work on disability.
Living Day to Day with Severe Osteoporosis, 2012 Update tells the reader what it is like to live with osteoporosis, the fastest growing epidemic, beginning at a young age. The book describes what osteoporosis is, what causes osteoporosis, methods of testing, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, medication and provides manufacturers web site addresses for detailed information. It explains the importance of a calcium enriched diet, and includes calcium-enriched recipes and web site addresses for more recipes, along with exercise and fall safety tips. And since osteoporosis does not discriminate, there is a chapter just for men.
