Key To Strengthen Bones = Fruits and Veggies

A new study has found that fruits and vegetables may help strengthen bones.

Bone resorption is a process in which bones are broken down to release minerals such as calcium, phosphates, and alkaline (basic) salts into the blood. Increased bone resorption leads to reduced bone mass.

The normal diets of many older adults add acid to the body. As people age, they're less able to excrete the acid. Bone resorption is one way the body may try to counteract high acid levels.
However, the study found, adding bicarbonate, an alkaline compound, to the body, helps reduce bone resorption.

And fruits and vegetables are a great source of bicarbonate.

There are a lot of factors that might contribute to bone resorption. But regardless of the causes, living a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise and eating the right kind of food will definitely keep our bones fit and healthy.
