High-protein diet may prevent bone loss |
|
 High-protein diet U.S. researchers say a diet emphasizing protein and calcium - lean meats and low-fat dairy foods - may prevent bone loss. The study, published in Journal of Nutrition, randomly assigned 130 participants to follow a conventional food pyramid weight loss diet. The researchers said the combination and/or interaction of dietary protein, calcium from dairy and the additional vitamin D in fortified dairy products appears to protect bone health during weight loss.
