Dairy Good for More than Just Bones
We’ve heard that dairy can be good for our bones, but some researchers are taking that a step further to say it may also reduce the risk of falls and broken bones in older adults.
The findings were recently published in the British Medical Journal. Researchers conducted a two year trial that involved more than 7,000 people in Australia. They averaged 86-years-old. The researchers found that improving calcium and protein intakes by using dairy foods is a readily accessible intervention that reduces the risk of falls and fractures that commonly in older adults. They reported a 27% risk reduction in all fractures and a 44% reduction in hip fractures specifically. There was also an 11% reduction in falls.
