GIVEAWAY ENDEDTHE WHOLE-FOOD GUIDE TO STRONG BONES
BY ANNEMARIE COLBIN
HAPPY HEALTH BOOK BUNDLE
ABOUT THE BOOK:
A pioneering nutritionist shows you:
Annemarie Colbin, Ph.D., author of The Whole-Food Guide to Strong Bones: A Holistic Approach, is a health educator and award-winning writer, consultant, and lecturer. She is the founder and CEO of the Natural Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary Arts in New York City. She is author of several books including Food and Healing and writes a column, "Food and Your Health," for New York Spirit magazine.
REVIEW:
This book is important to people, especially women, when we know that osteoporosis and low bone density can occur easily in midlife years and be the cause of many falls that include the dreaded and often even deadly broken hip. In the book is a summary of what most experts say about avoiding these risks.
Perhaps because people spend so much more time indoors now then they used to and use sunblock when they go outside, which is smart in most cases, it states that 75% of people who are looking for help for osteoporosis are diagnosed as having a Vitamin D deficiency. Amazingly, according to this book, eating lettuce daily can help to prevent 45% of the risks of hip fractures. Some people who eat low calcium diets also tend to suffer fewer fractures than those on high-calcium diets. Annemarie Colbin gives information in this book that is easy to understand and things we all need to know about diet and weight bearing exercise.
About one-third of the book is filled with what is described as tasty, bone-healthy recipes. I have to admit that I did not make any of these recipes but they all looked and sounded like they would be good. Much of this book seems to make sense but I also am a bit cautious about basing all my life choices in connection with how I deal with bone mass and healthy bones on one book written by a non-medical doctor. I do think you can learn some good questions to ask your doctor but in that Annemarie Colbin is a Ph.D, although a revered health educator and consultant, I am just a bit cautious about a few of the topics she discusses such as the merits of lowering the amount of milk and calcium products you consume based on some research out of some countries with lower osteoporosis rates where they do consume less. I think there are many valid and thought provoking points in the book to get you thinking about a very important health topic so easily overlooked. However, I also feel that there is no better resource than your own doctors or specialists who know you and your whole medical history. Still, there are many practical ideas and healthy recipes in the book and so it is worth reading for those reasons alone if nothing more.

One thing it is about is how to avoid hip fractures. My bone density test says I am at high risk for that so I am interested in this book!

For me I think the most important bones are the hip bones, although the bones protecting my skull rate pretty high with me too! :--)

It tells how to strengthen bones through the food you eat

I think the back bone is most important as it can make you paralyzed possibly if you break it

I think all the bones are important, the skull, the hip and of course the neck vertebra.

One thing I've recently heard about which seems to be addressed is the sunlight/vitamin D connection and how sunscreen takes away some of that natural good stuff. Sun is at a premium in my neck of the woods (up north!) and they recommend supplements because the sun isn't strong enough in the winter.

I think the backbone and hip bones are probably some of the most important bones. They are strong and kind of help hold up the rest of our frame.

+5 I signed up via your link to try to win a kindle!
Thanks.

One third of the book is about bone healthy recipes

I feel the spine and all of its segments are probably the most important ones.

I just started reading this one and am really interested in the information since both my grandmothers (and the one great-grandmother I knew) shrunk a lot as they aged and both grandmothers broke hips as well.
I think the recipe section will probably be my favorite part though!
