Until recently this was accepted as a normal part of the aging process. It is not normal. In fact, osteoporosis kills more women every year than breast cancer.
Osteoporosis is a silent, crippling, and often deadly disease.
Today we have advanced tests that not only tell if we have osteoporosis but also IF we are likely to develop this disease. Dr. Miriam Nelson has written an incredible book, Strong Women, Strong Bones that deals with osteoporosis. As a writer and expert in women's health she has also written two other best sellers Strong Women Stay Young and Strong Women Stay Slim. Her book Strong Women, Strong Bones has been widely praised by other health experts and has landed on the New York Times best seller's list. For the past 10 years Dr. Nelson has been the lead investigator of studies on strength training for women and writes a monthly column for Prevention magazine.
