Some bone loss occurs in everyone with age. For women at menopause, this process speeds up. A study published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research (February 2017) found that women who ate what is considered an anti-inflammatory diet (high in vegetables, fruits, fish and whole grains and low in sugar and processed foods) had less bone loss. The researchers analyzed data from the large Womens Health Initiative study to look for an association between inflammatory elements in the diet and bone density and fractures.
