Contrary to popular belief, a protein-rich diet with a reduced carbohydrate content has a beneficial effect on bone health.
According to Bess Dawson-Hughes from the University of Taft (Boston, USA), with such a diet, the IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor) content in the blood serum increases and the concentration in the urine of substances that are biochemical markers of age-related bone involution.
Thus, increasing the amount of meat in the diet can help increase bone mass and improve the skeleton in elderly people. The positive effect of meat eating on bones is enhanced by limiting the amount of carbohydrate-rich foods in the diet.
