Dear CERASALE,
Sadly, many people have no idea that they have been losing bone mass for years until — suddenly and without warning — a twist, a bend, or an unexpected jolt or fall leads to a painful fracture in the hip, spine or wrist.
You probably know someone who has experienced a bone fracture and you know how drastically it can turn your life upside down.
A hip fracture, for example, can severely limit mobility, making it difficult to drive, cook or even get out of bed. A spinal fracture — the most common type of fracture — can result in ongoing pain, stooped posture and even digestive problems.
The older we get, the more likely we are to have our bones weakened by osteoporosis (literally “porous bone”) — making us more susceptible to potentially devastating fractures.
The good news is that osteoporosis is not inevitable!
And it’s treatable. That’s why the health experts at Harvard Medical School have published Osteoporosis: A Guide to Prevention and Treatment, a Special Health Report filled with evidence-based practical steps to help you strengthen your bones and prevent life-altering fractures. For example:
Simple bone-protecting exercises
You may know that exercise can help strengthen your bones and improve your coordination and balance, but you may not know how quick and EASY these exercises can be! Your Special Report reveals the exercises that work best to prevent and treat osteoporosis — including 10 simple, clearly-illustrated exercises you can do in your living room.
Smart bone-building nutrition tips
Do you know that too much supplemental calcium might be dangerous — and what dosage experts recommend? The simple food swaps that may have a significant bone-protecting impact? The surprising vitamin that research has proven is “instrumental in bone formation?” Or the little-known nutritional dangers to your bone health? Find out all this and more in your Harvard Special Report!
Which bone-strengthening medication is best for you
If you’ve been diagnosed with osteoporosis or its less serious cousin osteopenia, your doctor will likely prescribe a medication to curb bone loss. But before you say “yes”, get the facts you need to help you decide between bisphosphonates like Fosamax…monoclonal antibodies like Prolia…hormones — a variety of estrogen products…and other options.
PLUS: You’ll get a fascinating close-up look at your bone’s structure — how it grows and heals itself when injured. Discover the osteoporosis risk factors and why it’s not just a “woman’s disease.” Find out how to diagnose osteoporosis and develop your action plan to fight back. See how to recover well from hip fracture and cope with the pain of a vertebral fracture — including two surgical options. And more!
If you want to help guard yourself from potentially devastating bone fractures and protect your mobility and independence as you grow older, get the facts you need in Osteoporosis: A Guide to Prevention and Treatment. Order now and save 30% off our regular price!
