Better Bones, a revolutionary approach
Strengthen your bones naturally using your body’s healing power
From the day we’re born, our bones are capable of healing themselves when
they’re injured or even just worn out. That capability doesn’t disappear
as we age! Our bones are just as able to heal when we’re 79 as they are at
29 — but at 79, we’ve had 50 more years of the stresses and strains
of modern life eating away at our bones. The cumulative effect of long-term nutritional,
hormonal, and lifestyle burdens throw our body out of its optimal balance. And although
this imbalance can have profound effects on our bones over many years, the most
wonderful thing about bones is that when you restore balance, the bones respond
quickly — no matter how old you are. Osteoporosis can be halted and bone strength
restored simply by making sure your body has the tools it needs to restore balance.
Many people are surprised to learn that one of the tools that can strengthen your
bones is food. But one of the most important steps you can take to restore your
bone health is to eliminate the acidity that literally dissolves bone — and
the best way to reduce acids in your body is to reduce them in your food. An alkaline
diet rich in vegetables, fruits, nuts, and whole grains is a key ingredient to strengthening
your bones.
We’ve been so successful at helping women change what they eat, both at the
Center and in the Personal Program. There’s a simple secret to our success:
we just ask you to follow the diet for 30 days.
After those 30 days, you’ll be a believer. You’ll feel so much better,
with more energy, balanced moods, better balance and muscle strength — all
of the little aches and pains you never realized you had will start to improve.
That will give you the strength and commitment to stay with it as you give your
bones a chance to fully heal. By then you’ll know so much about how your nutrition
affects your physical well-being that you’ll be able to follow the 80/20 rule
— follow the plan 80% of the time, and enjoy yourself the other 20% —
and still feel great.
We make it very easy for you. The Personal Program for Better Bones includes a 30-day
meal plan, recipes that you can fix in 30–45 minutes, plus tips on how to cook for
your family, eat out, and deal with the other obstacles that face anyone trying
to eat in a healthy way.
The theory behind our dietary plan combines the latest science on the links between
pH balance and bone loss, a focus on the key nutrients necessary for building strong,
healthy bones, and how reducing the burdens in your life can improve bone health.
It’s based upon the Better Bones, Better Body® program, developed
by Dr. Susan E. Brown, PhD and used at the Center for Better Bones for over 20 years
to help thousands of women regain their bone health.
We know it will work for you, too.
