Unbreakable - A Woman's Guide to Ageing with Power

Getting older doesn''t mean getting weaker. You don''t have to go from vitality to frailty. Over 70% of women experience joint pain, muscle loss and reduced bone density as they enter perimenopause and menopause. These symptoms can often lead to broken bones, limited mobility and reduced independence later in life. Unbreakable outlines the path to protecting ourselves against this too-common fate. With decades of experience as an orthopaedic surgeon, Dr Wright gives clear action steps to counteract the ''timebombs'' of ageing in four critical categories: Nutrition: what to eat to reduce inflammation, repopulate the gut biome, and support strong bones and muscles. Exercise: the right mix of cardio and resistance training for tissue regeneration and better metabolic function. Lifestyle: how to manage chronic stress, get more restorative sleep and turn down system inflammation in daily life. Supplements: what to take to target the elimination of ''zombie cells'' and improve cell function. Including a unique quiz to assess your present musculoskeletal fitness, information about baseline blood and mobility tests to understand your current health state, anti-inflammatory recipes and a master exercise plan to help you pace your weekly workouts, Unbreakable is an invaluable roadmap for adding more healthy life to your years.
