Medical News Today wrote that boosting calcium intake by drinking milk could reduce probability thinning and breaking of a bone break in healthy adults. In a new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, healthy men and women were supplemented with 1 200 mg of calcium per day, as much as four glasses of milk. The study has shown that risk of bone fractures in these men and women was reduced by 72 percent.

The researchers found that patients who received supplementary calcium in amount of 1,200 mg were significantly less likely to have a bone fracture of any sort during the four year period. In fact, during the four-year study, none of the patients receiving calcium experienced a fracture connected with everyday activities. This type of fractures was called potentially preventable by researchers.

Scientists from University Hospital Zurich and Dartmouth Medical School investigated 930 healthy men and women aged from 27 to 80. They divided them into two groups for a four year intervention study. One group was given a placebo, and the other took a daily calcium supplement containing in amount of 1 200 mg of calcium daily. Such dose was chosen as recommended for daily use for adults over the age of 51.

After the four-year period, the bone benefits appeared. To summarize, we shall say, that it is necessary to adopt lifelong habits, like drinking milk, to prevent bone loss.
