Preventing and Treating Osteoporosis: the Complete Guide by Yochana Khayat Pdf
Preventing and Treating Osteoporosis: The Complete GuideOsteoporosis-the disease of brittle bones and deadly fractures-is a rising pandemic that is silently but successfully increasing the frailty and mortality of women and men alike. At present, as much as every 1 in 2 women and 1 in 5 men over 50 are expected to fracture. Despite its prevalence, current drugs do little alone to meaningfully impact bone health and are fraught with worrisome side effects, including more fractures! Although the condition is genetically influenced, lifestyle and other factors can dramatically affect its manifestation. Osteoporosis is a complex disorder that in turn needs to be addressed holistically. The predisposition for the condition begins as early as in the womb, so the time to develop a health-promoting, preventative lifestyle is NOW.Are you worried and unsure about what diet to follow to best support bone health? Are you unaware of which specific exercises that can actually influence bone strength? Are there other internal or external influences in your life that are affecting your bones that you may be possibly overlooking? Volume II: Organ Function delves into the underappreciated relationship between organ function and bone health. Organs such as the thyroid, the parathyroids, the small intestine, the kidneys, and the liver are just some of the many organs whose function significantly influences the skeleton. Disease states relating to these key organs are discussed in terms of how they can be improved or managed to best support bone health beyond the normal lifestyle and diet recommendations discussed in Volume I. This book is recommended to those not only suffering from conditions relating to organ dysfunction or organ failure, but also to the seemingly healthy who may find that their unmanageable osteoporosis is actually the product of an undiagnosed condition relating to organ dysfunction. Volume II is also recommended to health practitioners who wish to optimize bone health in patients suffering from multiple comorbidities.
