Why do bones weaken with age?
According to Dr. Bhumesh Tyagi, Consultant, General practitioner and Physician at Shardacare, Health City, Noida (India), as you turn 30, bone mass begins to decrease due to many reasons such as hormonal changes, especially in postmenopausal women, a diet lacking nutrition, lack of exercise and vitamin D. This leads to osteoporosis, increased risk of fractures and mobility problems. Therefore, maintaining a diet rich in calcium, magnesium and antioxidants is essential to protect bone health.
Benets of black grapes for bone health
Dr. Bhumesh Tyagi said that black grapes contain many important nutrients that help strengthen bones:
Rich in calcium: Calcium is a fundamental mineral that helps build and maintain bone density.
Rich source of magnesium: Magnesium helps absorb calcium effectively, helping bones become stronger.
Potassium helps reduce calcium loss: Potassium helps reduce calcium excretion through urine, preventing osteoporosis.
Antioxidants and polyphenols: These protect bones from damage caused by inflammation and free radicals.
Boron: Probiotics help the body use vitamin D better and support bone formation.
