Is lower bone density an inescapable price even young people must pay for choosing plant foods? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDr. Laura Kelly, a specialist in precision medicine for bone health, hears these questions from patients and colleagues who cite studies showing that as a group, vegetarians and vegans can have lower bone density than do people who eat animal food. In \u003ci\u003eThe Healthy Bones Plant-Based Nutrition Plan and Cookbook\u003c\/i\u003e, Dr. Kelly puts these questions to rest, offering readers the same expert guidance she provides to her patients who are on a plant-forward or vegetarian diet, ensuring they have a plan to meet their nutritional needs for healthy bones or working toward reversal of bone loss. She explains why people on plant-forward, vegetarian, or vegan diets sometimes struggle with low bone density; identifies the environmental factors that can influence bone health; and explains how to minimize the risks while setting out the steps anyone can take to restore, improve, and maintain bone density. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs the authors of \u003ci\u003eThe Healthy Bones Nutrition Plan and Cookbook\u003c\/i\u003e, Laura and Helen Kelly specialize in explaining science to nonscientists, and this book is a must-have for anyone who is giving plant foods a bigger share--or a full share--of their daily diet.
