One of the greatest but least recognized benefits of eating lots of fruits and vegetables is their ability to prevent osteoporosis or bone loss which comes as we age. Studies have proven that people who eat the most fruits and vegetables had the strongest bones due to high mineral density. More than 100 studies have confirmed this finding. What seems to be most important, however, is how much calcium you excrete in your urine every day. Diets high in acid containing foods will cause you become acidic which causes greater excretion of calcium and promotes bone loss, so acid-base balance is very important since if you are alkaline calcium is retained not excreted. Diets high in fruits and vegetables, especially leafy green vegetables and brightly colored vegetables are alkaline. Diets high in salt, meat, fish, eggs, dairy products and cereals are all on the acid side. So in order not to lose too much calcium you must balance this type of diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables. One of the best, if not the bes,t diet to follow which produces a healthy acid-base balance is the Paleo Diet which I have written about in previous blogs.
