The researchers claim that beer can prevent osteoporosis,

UC Davis researchers recently published a study stating that beer may help prevent osteoporosis. That given in the" Journal of Food and Agricultural Sciences, "the study found that some of the beer is rich The consumption of silicon, can maintain strong bones and prevent bone disease osteoporosis.

study's lead author, Charles Voss stressed classes, each of the silicon content of beer is different. "silicon the most abundant is rich in malt and hops in beer. "he said. Studied 100 species on the market after the sale of beer, class Voss and his team found that the beer made from wheat and corn, was the lowest consumption of silicon.

"silicon content than wheat, barley, barley, less because of the shell is rich in this ingredient already." He stressed, and added that the hull together with the brewing of beer to the silicon extracted.

According to the authors, the silicon in beer has a high bioavailability, meaning that the body can easily absorb. Many companies have sales of nutritional supplements, natural silicon [or known as silicon dioxide], can improve hair, nail and bone health.

National Osteoporosis Society to further stress to help prevent bone problems in addition to this component, there are other more effective ingredients. Clay child package Linbo Shi said the study also confirmed earlier about the benefits of moderate alcohol consumption, but also stressed that excessive alcohol consumption but will cause the opposite effect.

"Despite the small amount of alcohol may be beneficial to increase bone density, excessive intake would decrease bone strength. And more than 2 units of alcohol a day will increase the risk of fracture."

package Lynn that silicon is not important for bone health. Because the recommended amount of daily intake of silicon is not standardized, it is difficult to know whether the lack of such a body composition. The water and some anti-caking agent in the silicon content is not fixed, it is difficult to determine the daily intake of each person and their content down for the long-term bone health.

many experts currently recommend that the calcium and proven ingredients such as vitamin D to maintain bone health and prevention of bone diseases. If you still want to intake of silicon, the best natural sources or instead of alcohol.
