Osteoporosis is a bone disease that occurs when the body loses too much bone, makes too little bone, or both. As a result, bones become weak and may break from a fall. A recent study suggests that following a Mediterranean...
Bone fragility is rarely detected before the first fracture, so preventative measures are particularly important. A recent study suggests that taking a probiotic supplement may improve bone health in mature women by up to 50%. Participants in the study included...
A recent study suggests that increased levels of vitamin K may help lower rates of low-energy fractures in children and adolescents. Participants in the study included 20 children with low-energy fractures and 19 children without fractures. Total serum concentrations of...
Many people lose weight as they age, but that weight loss may not be beneficial. A recent study suggests that weight loss may decrease bone density, architecture, and strength. Participants in the study included 769 women and 595 men who...
Bone health naturally declines as we age, putting people at risk of dangerous fractures later in life. A recent study suggests that higher protein intake may help with bone health in mature adults with osteoarthritis. For this study, researchers performed...
The Mediterranean diet is characterized by high amounts of vegetables, legumes, cereals, fish, fruits and nuts, healthy mono-saturated fats like olive oil, low amounts of saturated fats, moderate alcohol intake, and low intake of meat and dairy products. A recent...
Osteopenia, defined by a thinning of bone mass, is a precursor and serious risk factor for the development of osteoporosis. A recent study suggests that annatto-derived tocotrienols may help improve bone biomarkers in women with osteopenia. Participants in the study...
Omega-3s are usually linked with brain and heart health, but these essential nutrients may be important for other health reasons as well. A recent study suggests that consuming more fish and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids may help lower the risk...
