Osteoporosis afflicts a large percentage of women over the age of 65. This guide explains the crucial role of diet in the control of this disease, detailing the kinds of foods that help to fight the disease and teaching readers specific exercises that help to build bone. Drawing on the latest research, the book also explains how to prevent hip fractures, control pain, increase mobility and stop the illness in its earliest stages. There is also a chapter which offers advice on travelling with osteoporosis, endorsed by travel writer Arthur Frommer.
