Men are also endangered: how to reduce the risk of breaking your bones

Bone atrophy is very seldom problem in Asia. Why it is so and what can you learn from it?

What is the secret of Asian people? Do they have other bones? Do they make more sports? Is the climate difference the reason?

Nutrition is one of the major differences between Asian and European people. The daily consumed volume of Phytoestrogens is 12 times higher, what has very positive effect on bone thickness, heart infarct rate, cancer (e.g. breast and prostate cancer), and even on the depressions and sleep disturbances.

Phytoestrogens are important for accumulation of Calcium – the bone mineral. The lack of estrogens causes bone atrophy by men and women, followed by high bone break rate.

Protect your bones with soy products .

What we in western countries are trying to compensate by artificial hormones, the Asian people receive via natural nutrition: Phytoestrogens. Soy milk and tofu are especially rich in Phytoestrogens.

Regular consumption of soy milk can noticeably decrease the risk of bone breaking in old ages. This conclusion was presented by the Cambridge University scientists. 2 700 people from 65 to 85 years old were studied in treatment with Phytoestrogens or placebo .

According to the report published in British Medical Journal, the group taking Phytoestrogens reduced the bone break risk by 33%.
