Summary: ALMOST Everything you need to know to deal with osteoporosis
Review: Great book -- but it left out ESSENTIAL bone building exercises from "Strong Women Stay Young", by the same author, in particular those related to the hip. I'd recommend picking up a paperback copy of it also. "Strong Women, Strong Bones", covers much new info on supplements, medications, oxalates and nutrition as well as new exercises and a few relevant pages for men. It is quite comprehensive.

Summary: Strong Women, Strong Bones
Review: I found this book to be extremely informative in what women can do to not only prevent bone loss - osteoporosis - but to rebuild loss bone mass. There are so many things we can do to protect out health, and Mariam Nelson cites them beautifully. I am anxious to read more of her books! Additionally, her affiliation with Tufts University says volumes about the validity of her findings. Tufts is the premier university in America - perhaps the world - in its healthcare research and issues. I recommend this book highly.

Summary: must have reference book for home library
Review: I took out a number of books from the library including recent releases. Admittedly, I reviewed them from a different perspective than older folks as I'm just over 40. This was the most informative book with relevant information to my age group. Even though I work out regularly and thought I had a pretty good routine, there were plenty of enlightening strength exercises that have never been in my repertoire. That reason alone rates this book superior than others.

Summary: A Wonderful, Holistic Approach to Bone Health
Review: This book is a wonderfully written reference by Nelson, who is a nutritionist with Tufts University, and who comprehensively approaches the topic of osteoporosis. Covering the approach of prevention, supplementation, medication options, and exercise, Nelson approaches this topic with humor and in a very easy-to-read style. Lots of easy reference tables and well-illustrated exercise plans make this an accessible reference for everyone.
