"To keep the body in good health is a duty...otherwise we
shall not be able to keep our mind strong"
-Buddha

"Nurturing Wellness: The Path to Postmenopausal Osteoporosis Awareness" is a compassionate guide dedicated to empowering women to take control of their health beyond menopause.

In an age where osteoporosis poses a silent but significant threat, this book sheds light on the often-overlooked journey of postmenopausal women and the steps they can take to maintain a vibrant, fulfilling life.

Key points to be noted are:

• Menopause is a universal and natural event in women's life.
• Menopause is inevitable but we can make it easy and equally beautiful by understanding it.
• Osteoporosis is not a terminal illness and does not itself directly influence life expectancy. However, having a fracture which is obvious even with a lesser trauma (as the bones become fragile), can definitely affect it.
• Somewhere between the ages of 25 and 35, the rate of bone breakdown will eventually outweigh the rate of bone formation. Bone loss begins to happen at an approximate rate of 0.25% a year and is variable depending upon genetic and environmental factors. This can be attributed as a part of ageing process in both genders.
• But menopause significantly speeds up bone loss and increases the risk of osteoporosis. Maximum bone loss occurs between 3 - 5 years after menopause because of estrogen deficiency and after that it slows down . Approximately 1 in 10 women over the age of 60 are affected by osteoporosis worldwide.

What's Inside:

• A Deep Dive into Bone Health: Discover foundational insights into the human skeleton, exploring the structure, number of bones, peak bone mass and differences that affect men and women as they age.
• Risk Factors and Unique Challenges: Gain a clear understanding of osteoporosis risks shared across genders and those specific to women, including the impact of hormonal changes after menopause.
• Preventive Strategies and Lifestyle Tips: Learn how to fortify your bones through nutrition, exercise, and mindfulness practices tailored to fit into your daily life, ensuring both strength and flexibility.
• Guided Self-Care: Step-by-step advice on how to listen to your body, monitor bone health, and stay proactive, turning challenges into opportunities for growth and resilience.
• Empowering through Knowledge: Accessible, research-backed information makes complex medical topics easy to understand, equipping you with the tools to make informed decisions.

Written by an experienced Gynecologist, with empathy and scientific rigor, it is both a roadmap to lifelong health and a beacon of hope for all women who wish to thrive post-menopause.
