Turkish Rx To Prevent Osteoporosis!

                              Turkey's Food Rx For Strong Bones!
Concerned about bone loss? Afraid you may break a hip as you get older?
Well, do what the people of Turkey do and keep bones strong throughout your
life.
The Turkish secret:
Eat more onions.

Thanks to a population survey, it was discovered that the people of Turkey
have the lowest rates of bone loss and fractures and the highest per capita
consumption of onions in the world.

That's right, the lowly onion can slash your risk of hip fractures by 20%.
Onions contain compounds that inhibit the activity of cells that break down
bone and they contain phytochemicals that increase bone density.

This tip is especially important for women, why? After menopause bone loss happens
at a rapid pace, and that's why including more onion to your diet  is vitally important.

So, if you want to maintain a strong body throughout life, do more weight bearing
exercise (weightlift, climb stairs and garden) eat some fresh and dried plums, (prunes)
and add onions to soups, salads, stews and meat dishes.

Good Luck!
