Dear Reader,
Many people have weak bones and don’t even know it. That’s because bone loss typically happens over a long period of time, and it doesn’t hurt. A broken bone is often the first and only indication that a person has osteoporosis. Unfortunately, by the time a fracture occurs, the disease may be well established.
Osteoporosis is as preventable and treatable as it is common. With Mayo Clinic on Osteoporosis, you can reduce your risk of future fractures, stop bone loss, and even rebuild your low bone density. A healthy diet, the right kind of exercise and modern medications can help you manage osteoporosis effectively.
In this book, you’ll find clear, practical information on: - Factors that affect your risk of osteoporosis
- Bone density tests to detect weak bones before a break
- Treatments to help stop bone loss and encourage new bone growth
- The best food and nutrients for strong bones
- Ways to reduce your risk of fractures and falls
- Exercises for building bone — and some to avoid with low bone mass
Mayo Clinic on Osteoporosis offers the latest guidance in treatment and prevention. Learn how to take control of your bone health, lower your risk of fractures and continue the activities you enjoy.
