Diet for lifestyle-related diseases to maintain bone health
Abstract
Dieting methods for preventing age-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension and diabetes, as well as osteoporosis are proposed here. Losing weight to prevent and ameliorate metabolic syndrome can lead to loss of bone and muscle mass. However, when subjects had milk before dinner while dieting, their fat mass was efficiently decreased and their muscle mass increased without any change of bone mass. Increased intake of vitamin D enhanced these effects. Therefore we suggest that people with high risk of metabolic disorders should take more low fat dairy products and fish, together with fruits, vegetables, and soy in order to increase their intake of calcium, vitamin D, n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, protein, antioxidants, various vitamins and minerals, and fiber to protect them from the deterioration of arteries and bones.
