Such things as grainsand gluten are out while fruits, veggies and nuts are very much in.The author addresses the benefits of high intensity training andkettle ball exercises which emphasize torque training and range ofmotion. These exercises in particular may help to preclude excesscalcium from hardening and interfering with range of motion.Hasic recommends supplements as well. Examples include Ca., Mg.,Zn., K and CoQ 10 to mention just a few. Light therapy ispraised for managing depression. Dietary control and sustainedexercise is even beneficial for maintaining testosterone levelswhich plummet with advancing age.The book emphasizes that sleep is important, as well as exerciseand leading a smoke-free existence. There is a good section whichexplains how to soak bone for over a day to compose a gel whichbenefits arthritic and musculoskeletal issues. Dieters shouldgo chemical-free in their food choices.
