By Yoshi Naruse


Long Beach, CA;Chicago, IL;Houston, TX (PRWEB) 28 of December, -- Doctors Health Press, a division of Lombardi Publishing Corporation and writer of many natural health newsletters, books, and reports, including the famous online Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin, is announcing on a study that has been done that eating carrots is even healthier than before. According to the works findings, carotenoids, the pigments in fruit and vegetables that create them colorful, can help protect older men from hip cleavage.

As Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin (http://www.doctorshealthpress.com/food-and-nutrition-articles/avoid-hip-fractures-with-this-nutrient) notes, the information was revealed at a major osteoporosis conference in Singapore, and came from the Singapore Chinese Health Study, which examined more than 63,000 adults over the age of 45 to investigate the possibility of a link between the carotenoids and hip fracture risk. The companions suffered 1,630 hip fractures between 1993 and 2010.

As the article Avoid Hip Fractures with this Nutrient reports, the men in the study who ate the largest amount of total vegetables and total carotenoids had the biggest protection from hip fractures, which are often brought on by reduced ability of bones and osteoporosis. The best known carotenoid is beta-carotene, the orange pigment in carrots and other bright veggies. For women, vegetables and carotenoids did not protect hip bones from fracture.

The Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin article adds that a pleasant rule of thumb for carotenoids is that the more yellow and orange produce a person eats, the additional of these potent antioxidants they will ingest. Carotenoids are reformed by the body into vitamin A.

The article finishes that the study shows that consuming carotenoids through the diet is linked to fracture protection for men, but more studies will be essential to see if supplementing carotenoids can do the same.
