Long Beach, CA;Chicago, IL;Houston, TX (PRWEB) December 28, 2012 -- Doctors Health Press, a division of Lombardi Publishing Corporation and publisher of various essential health newsletters, books, and reports, including the famous online Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin, is reporting on a study that has been done that eating carrots is even healthier than previously believed. According to the studys findings, carotenoids, the pigments in fruit and vegetables that make them colorful, can help protect senior men from hip fractures.
As Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin (http://www.doctorshealthpress.com/food-and-nutrition-articles/avoid-hip-fractures-with-this-nutrient) notes, the news 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 chance of a link between the carotenoids and hip fracture risk. The participants 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 consumed the most total vegetables and total carotenoids had the biggest protection from hip fractures, which are many times brought on by reduced ability of bones and osteoporosis. The most excellent known carotenoid is beta-carotene, the orange pigment in carrots and other bright veggies. For women, vegetables and carotenoids did not save hip bones from fracture.
The Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin article adds that a pleasant rule of thumb for carotenoids is that the increased amount of yellow and orange produce a person eats, the more of these potent antioxidants they will ingest. Carotenoids are reformed by the body into vitamin A.
The article concludes that the study shows that getting carotenoids through the diet is connected to fracture protection for men, but more studies will be needed to see if supplementing carotenoids can do the same.
