Fifties Bone Care by Felicia Dunbar

Fifties Bone Care addresses a vital concern for those in their fifties: maintaining optimal bone health. It provides a comprehensive guide to understanding bone density changes and proactive care during this pivotal decade of life. The book uniquely emphasizes a holistic approach, arguing that relying solely on dairy calcium is insufficient. It highlights intriguing insights, such as how hormonal shifts during menopause significantly affect bone density and the importance of weight-bearing exercise in stimulating bone formation.

The book is structured into three sections. It starts with bone basics, followed by a critical analysis of dairy calcium's impact, and concludes with a guide to building bone strength through exercise, vitamins D and K2, magnesium, and other nutrients.

Through clear explanations and evidence-based research, Fifties Bone Care empowers readers to take control of their bone health by offering practical advice on nutrition, exercise, and supplementation, helping them make informed decisions about bone care beyond just calcium intake.
