Long Beach, CA;Chicago, IL;Houston, TX (PRWEB) December 28, 2012 -- Doctors Health Press, a division of Lombardi Publishing Corporation and writer of many natural health newsletters, books, and reports, including the popular online Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin, is announcing on a study that has been done that eating carrots is even healthier than before. According to the studys findings, carotenoids, the pigments in fruit and vegetables that make them colorful, can help save older men from hip fractures.

As Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin notes, the news was revealed at a major osteoporosis conference in Singapore, and comes from the Singapore Chinese Health Study, which took a look at more than 63,000 adults over the age of 45 to investigate the chance of a link between the carotenoids and hip fracture risk. The companions suffered 1,630 hip fractures between 1993 and 2010.

As the article Avoid Hip Fractures with this Nutrient reports, the men in the study who ate the most overall vegetables and total carotenoids had the largest safety from hip fractures, which are many times brought on by reduced ability of bones and osteoporosis. The most excellent known carotenoid is the beta-carotene, the orange pigment in carrots and other bright veggies. For women, vegetables and carotenoids did not protect hip bones from fracture.

The Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin article tops that a good rule of thumb for carotenoids is that the increased amount of yellow and orange produce a person eats, the additional of these potent antioxidants they will ingest. Carotenoids are reformed by the body into vitamin A.

The article finishes that the study shows that consuming carotenoids through the diet is linked to fracture protection for men, but increasing studies will be needed to see if supplementing carotenoids can do the same.
