I\u2019m not sure how far this will go to replace Pop Tarts with your children, but some new research reveals that children 16 to 18 years old as well as women 60 to 83 who ate fruit regularly had much better bones than those who didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
The results were impressive. First, researchers collected week-long food diaries and then they scanned the bones of participants to gauge bone density.<\/p>\n
Results? Fruit eaters had better bones, period. Since fruit isn\u2019t particularly high in calcium, researchers think it might be an effect of the fruit\u2019s antioxidants and vitamin C.<\/p>\n
It may also be something out of left field, like people who eat fruit regularly just also happen to be more bone-buildingly active than non fruit-eaters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
