What is this book about?
A holistic program designed by an orthopedic surgeon and a registered dietitian to help optimize your health at home.
Arthritis and osteoporosis affect mobility, well-being, and longevity, so you can’t leave protecting your joints and bones to chance or to a search algorithm. In tandem with the advice of your own healthcare provider, this easy-to-follow guide offers science-based strategies to start improving your musculoskeletal health today. Learn which nutrients most of us need, which anti-inflammatory ingredients to keep in your kitchen, and which exercises can help improve bone density. The great-tasting recipes provided help fight inflammation and strengthen bones at the same time, with options for omnivores to vegans. The exercises included require minimal equipment, promote balance and strength, and can help decrease the risk of injuries or falls. Specific routines may help even help alleviate pain in problem areas. With clear answers to common questions—including what to ask when you visit your doctor—this book offers the knowledge and confidence to help readers achieve stronger bones, healthier joints, and better mobility for life.
