Max Tuck - Love Your Bones: The essential guiding to ending osteoporosis and building a healthy skeleton

One of the most shocking photographs I have ever seen was one of my mothers spine. It was almost transparent. In her latter years I had watched her stooped shoulders and upper body become locked into a bent position from which she could never rise. Nor could her spirit. If, as Max Tuck says, this is a whole body we live in it is no good just fixing a puncture if the steering is broken as well.

There may be many books written on the subject of osteoporosis, but this one is different. Refreshingly so.

The message about bone health in the mainstream media is mostly aimed at women, yet men also have to deal with this increasing health problem, caused largely by diet and lifestyle issues.

Dr Max Tuck possesses the experience, intuition and common sense to present this brilliant publication. Over the years, I have observed her enthusiastically reaching for new and cutting-edge information that she disseminates to the public with authentic and well-founded spirit. Throughout the decades, it has come to my attention that some of the best physicians that I have worked with and gotten to know come from a background in animal husbandry. Beyond this, Maxs love for fitness and exercise affords her a unique vantage point allowing her to establish the fundamental necessity for aerobic and weight-training health.

What I love about this straightforward contribution is that it provides substance along with experiential science. Without fail, if you follow the advice of Doc Max, your bones will begin to stand up straight and regain their prominent place in your anatomy. Ironically, even those who eat well can fall into the grips of osteo conditions. There are always two definitive directions I give those suffering from this ever-growing malady. First, you must help the cells press together and solidify, increasing bone density. This is only achieved by an ongoing programme of weightlifting. Next, one must consume a diet that is rich in minerals, not animal based, and, most importantly, uncooked. This prescription has helped thousands of women and even some men remove the shackles of pain and premature aging caused by this potential crippler.
