One of the biggest dietary changes that has taken hold in our culture — over the past 40 years — is that milk has been replaced by sodas as the kids’ drink of choice.<\/p>\n

Now, according to new research reported in the Journal of Pediatrics, <\/em>when you eat dairy foods, meat, and other high-protein foods in childhood, you get stronger and healthier bones in adolescence.<\/p>\n

This was true for boys and girls. And, you don’t have to overconsume dairy, but have about two servings per day throughout childhood. These kids had a higher bone mineral content, greater bone area, and greater bone mineral density than those who ate less.<\/p>\n

In fact, dairy and protein seemed to have additive effects, with children who consumed the most of both types of food having the densest, largest bones; those who consumed the least had the thinnest bones.<\/p>\n

So. A bit of cheese, a glass of milk, a breakfast of (real) yogurt, these do the body good … in the long term!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
