Building Bone Vitality
Author(s): Amy Joy Lanou
This is a groundbreaking book that debunks conventional wisdom on bone health - with a drug-free, non-dairy, low-acid diet plan. For years, doctors have been telling us: drink milk, eat dairy, take calcium, lift weights - even get a prescription for estrogen or other drugs - to improve bone vitality. The problem is: they're wrong. This breakthrough guide offers a safe, nutritional alternative to ineffective calcium pills and other supplements. Based on the latest research, the Low-Acid Eating Plan emphasizes plant foods over animal products in an easy-to-follow, bone strengthening program that really works.
