In The High-Calcium Low-Calorie Cookbook, Betty Marks showcases 250 recipes, each of which is especially relevant for women having to deal with the calcium deficit condition of osteoporosis (bone density loss). A diet of calcium-rich foods combined with a regular exercise program can not only slow bone loss, it can help female posture and skeletal integrity to remain straight and strong. These easy, natural, calcium rich recipes range from Tricolor Yogurt Loaf; Oriental Snow Pea Soup; Scallop and Oyster Salad; Lady Rainbow Okra; and Swiss Potato Torte; to Blue Cheese Dressing; Ricotta Peanut Butter; Cheddar Bread; Banana Berry Rice Pudding; Almond Carob Milk Shake. Acknowledging that children need good calcium dishes for a well balanced diet for young growing bodies, The High-Calcium Low-Calorie Cookbook is a welcome and recommended addition to any and all family kitchen cookbook collections as well!
