Book Description
Fight osteoporosis with food by following an Eating Plan specifically designed to support strong bones and a decreased risk of fractures. The "Food 4 Osteoporosis Four Week Eating Plan Volume 2" was written by a Dietitian fighting off osteoporosis who found the wealth of, often conflicting, recommendations related to osteoporosis and nutrition overwhelming and confusing. In her efforts to determine the best way to deal with her own osteoporosis she spent considerable time and effort reviewing the osteoporosis research and applying her nutrition training and experience to develop what she believes, based on available research at this time, is the best nutritional approach to maintaining strong bones and avoiding bone fractures. "The Food 4 Osteoporosis Eating Plan Volume 2" provides four weeks of simple, easy to follow daily menus and recipes. Each daily menu contains approximately 1200 mg. calcium from food so you can get your calcium from food and not worry about any risks associated with calcium supplements. While calcium is key to strong bones, fighting osteoporosis nutritionally is about much more than just getting enough calcium. An adequate intake of multiple bone building nutrients from a variety of healthy foods and adequate protein but not too much animal protein is crucial. The Eating Plan makes sure you get the right amount of protein and a variety of other bone building nutrients. The Plan includes all the alkaline foods you need to balance out high acid foods in the diet, which may be a risk factor for osteoporosis. The Plan shows you how to incorporate lots of bone healthy fruits and vegetables into your diet, which research has shown to be key to fighting osteoporosis. If you need to limit sodium and/or calories the Plan provides guidelines for keeping both sodium and calories under control. In addition to being healthy for bones the Eating Plan is also a great way to reduce your risk of developing cancer, diabetes, heart disease and Alzheimer's. The author has taught a variety of cooking classes for healthy eating and enjoys finding creative ways to combine delicious food with good nutrition that also builds strong bones. Twenty percent of the income from Food 4 Osteoporosis is donated to "The Hunger Project" to support their efforts to end hunger and extreme poverty by empowering women and men to create permanent society wide solutions.

Book Description
"Calcium helps build strong bones, buts it's a myth that taking a daily calcium supplement will enable you to avoid potentially debilitating bone loss. Building bone requires a full complement of minerals and vitamins that too often are lacking in a woman's--or man's--diet in the quantity and combination required to prevent and treat osteoporosis. In this book, Dr. Laura Kelly and Helen Bryman Kelly provide scientifically sound guidance on how to monitor your nutrient intake and cook right for bone health to avoid deficiencies of the key players in bone metabolism--including calcium, magnesium, Vitamin D, and Vitamin K2--and, in many cases, to avoid the use of osteoporosis drugs. Follow their instructions for creating your own personal nutrition plan and enjoy delicious bone-healthy meals from a selection of more than 100 recipes ranging from sauces and small plates to soups, salads, main dishes, and more,"--page [4] of cover.

Outpatient Nutrition Care and Home Nutrition Support

Languages : en
Pages : 221

Book Description
Nutrition, defined by Merriam-Webster, is the process of eating the right kind of food so you can grow properly and be healthy. However, making the right food and nutrition choices and finding the best and most accurate nutrition information can be a challenge, especially when a disease or injury is present. There are a wide range of ways that nutrition can be healing, from a simple broth that provides fluids and electrolytes to therapeutic nutrition for diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, or osteoporosis. Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDN) have expertise in disease management and translation of nutrition requirements to foods to consume. However, nutrition care often does not receive the attention in the out-patient setting that is needed to achieve nutrition goals. The purpose of this book is to provide pertinent and concise nutrition care information for Registered Dietitian Nutritionists and other professionals working with individuals outside of the hospital including nurses, pharmacists, and physicians. This book covers screening, assessing, and treating malnutrition; out-patient nutrition care in diabetes, cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal disease, osteoporosis; and home enteral and parenteral nutrition. In each chapter the reader will learn more about the disease process as well as the management of the disease or therapy. As the number of patients receiving home care nutrition support increases, proper assessment and management of this therapy is crucial, and clinicians need to practice at an advanced level. This book presents advanced and readily applicable information on proper nutrition care of individuals in the outpatient setting and those receiving home nutrition support.
