Beer May Prevent Osteoporosis

Beer is a significant source of dietary silicon, a key ingredient for increasing bone mineral density, and hence a moderate consumption may help fight osteoporosis. Studies suggest moderate beer consumption may help fight osteoporosis, a disease of the skeletal system characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue.

Silicon is present in beer in the soluble form of orthosilicic acid (OSA), which yields 50 percent bioavailability, making beer a major contributor to silicon intake in the diet.

According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), dietary silicon (Si), as soluble OSA, may be important for the growth and development of bone and connective tissue, and beer appears to be a major contributor to Si intake.

Silicon is not a magic bullet in bone health. It's just another key player in this effect that helps us have healthy bones.
Non-alcoholic beer also is made from barley, so there is reason to suspect it also would be a good source. 

Coffee and Osteoporosis

Caffeine reduces calcium absorption, which can increase the risk of osteoporosis, especially in older women. Heavy coffee drinkers should either consume more milk, low fat yogurt, and otherhigh calcium foods or consider taking calcium supplements or foods high in calcium.

High Animal Protein Diet

• 
  
  
  Proteins from animal sources promote higher cholesterol levels than proteins from plant sources.
• 
  
  
  High-animal protein digest allows more dangerous chemical carcinogens into our cells and facilitates the process by which these carcinogens are transformed by enzymes then bound to our DNA, creating cancer. Plant protein has shown to inhibit these processes.
• 
  
  
  Animal protein is found to promote high levels of insuline-like growth factor which in turn has been found to be a predictor of certain cancer.
• 
  
  
  Diet high in animal protein has shown to exacerbate the formation of kidney stones and draw calcium out of the bones, encouraging osteoporosis.

Diet from a rich variety of vegetables, legumes, and whole grains have the ability to prevent and sometimes even treat the conditions including heart disease, certain cancers, kidney stones, and osteoporosis.

Prevent Osteoporosis

Yogurt is an excellent source of digestible protein. With double the protein of milk, yogurt is a powerful weapon in building and maintaining strong bones and thus preventing osteoporosis.

Dannon's probiotic product called DanActive, has three types of beneficial bacteria. The probiotics in each bottle has over ten billion bacteria, thus establishing a healthy balance of bacteria.

Vitamin K Deficiency

Vitamin K deficiency is associated with easy bruising and bleeding and increased risk of osteoporosis.
