The Way To Stronger Bones

HERE’S one reason why children should eat their broccoli -
fruits and vegetables build strong bones, a new study shows
Boys who ate the most fruits and vegetables showed the greatest
accumulation of minerals in their bones throughout childhood and
adolescence, Dr Hassanali Vatanparast of the University of
Saskatchewan in the US and his colleagues found
Higher bone mineral content translates to denser, stronger
bones Boys who exercised more and consumed more calcium also
developed stronger bones over the course of the study
Vatanparast points out that while adolescence is the prime time
for building bone mass, children fre- quently don’t take enough
calcium for optimum bone strength Failing to form strong bones
in youth boosts the risk of problems later on, such as
osteoporosis
