of stores are turning author visits into real<br />
‘events.’ I did a signing last week at City<br />
Lights in San Francisco and they served martinis<br />
and played vinyl records on a wonderful<br />
old turntable to set the mood. Many indies<br />
also bring in a couple of authors at once<br />
for “conversations”–which you just can’t<br />
get anywhere else. I also think many bookstores–indies<br />
or chains–are maximizing their<br />
local book/local author selection. Otherwise, many readers would<br />
never find books set in their own town or written by a hometown<br />
author. Most of all, though, booksellers at stores have become even<br />
greater “handsellers” than ever, with strong relationships with customers.<br />
They’ve been known to set aside books they expect specific<br />
customers might like. You can’t beat that personal relationship. It’s the<br />
great gift of bookstores! ●<br />

BONE DENSITY TESTING FOR MEN & WOMEN<br />
The first step towards the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and osteopenia<br />
After the age of 35, both men and women begin to lose bone mass unless they take action to prevent it. Early intervention can<br />
prevent future problems since bone health is crucial to our overall health and well-being.<br />
The absolute amount of bone as measured by bone mineral density (BMD) testing generally correlates with bone strength and its<br />
ability to bear weight. By measuring BMD, it is possible to predict fracture risk in the same manner that measuring blood pressure<br />
can help predict the risk of a stroke.<br />
The World Health Organization has developed definitions for low bone mass (osteopenia) and osteoporosis. Determining a person’s<br />
BMD helps our doctors decide if a person is at increased risk for osteoporosis-related fracture. Osteoporosis is not only treatable,<br />
it is also preventable. By the time we begin to think about our bone health, we may already have suffered serious damage.<br />
At Linchitz Medical Wellness, our mission is to help our patients achieve and maintain bone health by emphasizing natural<br />
treatment and the prevention of illness. Strong and healthy bones are a cornerstone to successful aging.<br />
