Depending on a single fruit or vegetable and neglecting all other factors cannot prevent osteoporosis.” Are carrots nutritious and good for bone health? You will also need to give up sedentary lifestyle and control your weight if you want to prevent osteoporosis. You need calcium and vitamin D for bone health in addition to adequate amount of dietary proteins in your diet. The results also seemed to be favourable only for people with lower BMI.ĭr (Prof) Puneet Mishra – Additional Director & Unit Head – Orthopaedics, Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, Delhi, says, “A healthy, balanced diet can always be helpful in preventing the occurrence or progression of osteoporosis. Given that osteoporosis is also caused by a number of genetic factors, more studies are required on varied population. For one, the study was done on Chinese population. A research has shown that diet rich in fruits and vegetables can be linked for prevention of osteoporosis. Other than that, carrots and all vegetables are naturally healthy and good addition to diet. This is different from regular carrots available in the market and scientists noted that the commonly available “fruit and vegetables are good for you for many reasons, but they have not been a good source of calcium.” This specially created carrots can absorb 41 per cent more calcium than from a regular carrot and is believed to be able to help in in preventing osteoporosis. The myth probably arose from a particular research findings where researchers created a genetically modified carrot that can help human bodies to absorb more calcium.
Regular carrots cannot single-handedly prevent osteoporosis. It further increase the risk of fractures (broken bones). This can lead to a decrease in bone strength and overall bone density as the holes in the honeycomb structure become larger. As we grow old, bone mineral density and bone mass decreases, and the structure of bone changes. Osteoporosis is a bone disease affecting older people.
