Anti-inflammatory diets (high in vegetables, fruits, fish, whole grains) could boost bone health and prevent fractures in some women, a new study suggests. Researchers examined data from the Women’s Health Initiative to compare levels of inflammatory elements in the diet to bone mineral density and fractures and found new associations between food and bone health.

Women with the least-inflammatory diets (based on a scoring system called the Dietary Inflammatory Index) lost less bone density during the 6-year follow-up period than their peers with the most-inflammatory diets. This was despite the fact that they started off with lower bone density overall...
