HOLLYWOOD actress Gwyneth Paltrow is one of the most health conscious celebs, but is suffering from a brittle bone disease Osteoporosis which typically effects older women. Gwyneth Paltrow was diagnosed with the disease after she broke her leg. The 37 year old actress is known for her extreme health regimes and the punishing diets may have led to her being diagnosed with the condition, reported Daily Mail online.
“My doctors tested my vitamin D levels, which turned out to be the lowest thing they had ever seen (not a good thing)” Paltrow writes on her Internet newsletter Goop. She said she was put on prescription strength vitamin D and told to spend more time in the sun.
Osteoporosis can be triggered by a lack of calcium and excessive exercise. She has followed a macrobiotic diet which is popular among celebrities for 11 years and exercises up to three hours a day.
Some nutritionists believe her diet was also to blame for her brittle bone problem. "A macrobiotic diet is often lower in protein than a diet that includes dairy foods and meat so if she's doing a lot of exercise but not getting enough protein, she's not getting enough to build her bones either" Sydney nutritionist Sharon Natoli said.
Bernadette Peters has written two children's books, both illustrated by Liz Murphy. The first is about a scrappy dog, named after her dog Kramer, and the pleasure of adopting a pet.The book titled 'Broadway Barks', is published by Blue Apple Books (2008). Peters wrote the words and music to a lullaby, 'Kramer's Song' which is included on a CD in the book. The book reached - 5 on The New York Times Children's Best Sellers : Picture Books list for the week of June 8, 2008.
Peters second children's book is the story of a pit bull, Stella, named after Peters' pit bull. The character would rather be a pig ballerina, but she learns to accept herself. The book titled 'Stella is a Star', includes a CD with an original song written and performed by Peters and was released in April 2010 by Blue Apple Books.
According to Publisher's Weekly, "Turning the pages to Peters' spirited narration, which is provided in an accompanying CD, makes for a more rewarding reading experience. The story and disc end with a sneakily affecting self-esteem anthem, which, like the familiar tale itself, is buoyed by the author's lovely vocals." Peters introduced the book at a reading and signing where she also sang part of the song, at the L.A. Times Festival of Books, Los Angeles, California, on April 24, 2010.
Bernadette Peters sings four songs on the CD accompanying the 2005 children's picture book Dewey Doo-it Helps Owlie Fly Again, the proceeds of which benefit the Christopher Reeve Foundation. Her co-star from Sunday in the Park With George, Mandy Patinkin, also sings on the CD.
