Wine and beer are good for bones

According to a new study by Tufts University, Boston's Human Nutrition Research Center, a glass of wine, one or two bottles of beer a day can make bones of older people stronger, but drink more than that weakens bones again.

Research conducted on postmenopausal men and women over the age of 60 found that taking a moderate amount of moderate alcohol was associated with higher bone mineral density (BMD).

While previous studies have also suggested that there is a link between moderate intake and increased bone mineral density, the Tuft study investigates in detail 'the potential impact of three groups of alcohol, beer, and wine and liqueur for BMD ' . Katherine Tucker, director of the epidemiological research program at Tufts, said: "We found a stronger link between BMD in beer drinkers, male owners, and drinkers, primarily. are women, compared to those who drink liqueurs'.

and his colleagues deduced that silicon in beer made bone mineral density higher in men.However, they still have not roasted why liqueur and wine protect bone mineral density.

Researchers also emphasized that drinking too much will harm bone, 'should not rely solely on alcohol to maintain bone mineral density'.

The study is published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. In 2006, Tucker also discovered that drinks cola carbonate could reduce bone mineral density in older women but not in men.
