Dr. Leon Root, world-renowned orthopedic surgeon and author of the million-copy bestseller Oh, My Aching Back, presents a 100% natural, HRT-free diet and exercise program for increasing bone density and reducing the risk of osteoporosis.

"Save your bones, save your life." That’s Dr. Leon Root’s motto after thirty-five years as an orthopedic surgeon. Today, forty-four million Americans suffer from osteoporosis or osteopenia. Having seen scores of people lose their independence and their lives to osteoporosis-related fractures, Dr. Root has become a crusader against this silent killer. Dr. Root’s plan is the first and only one written since the Women’s Health Initiative Study, which questioned the safety of HRT. His simple, all-natural approach consists of an easy-to-follow diet and exercise program that will safeguard anyone’s bones against the incurable—and wholly preventable—disease of osteoporosis. The book includes:

• A 14-Day High Calcium Diet (with foods you know), including variations for Children, Vegetarians and the Lactose Intolerant with an emphasis on forming healthy habits for a lifetime
• A breakdown of the amount of absorbable calcium in common foods More than sixty simple, calcium-rich recipes for delicious—not "diet"—meals, including calorie count and nutritional information
• A fully-illustrated, twenty-minute exercise routine that people of any fitness level can do at home
• Cutting edge information on recent breakthroughs in drug treatment for osteoporosis patients
• An extensive glossary, plus a list of organizations and websites devoted to beating osteoporosis

No other book on the market comes close to providing the comprehensive, up-to-the- minute information and advice Dr. Root gives in Beautiful Bones Without Hormones.
