In this article, Dr. Michael Greger from nutritionfacts.org talks about almonds and the benefit they provide for improved bone health.
He explains that bone is living and it is constantly in a state of growth and at the same time being depleted. The rate of depletion increases beginning when hormones start to change in our 40s. In the article, he cites a study where almonds prevent osteoporosis by, “suppressing the activity of the bone-eating cells”.
I’m off to grab a handful of almonds – no kidding!
