Beans for Your Bones
You can help keep your bones strong as you get older by snacking on a certain legume.
Weight-bearing exercise is your first line of defense against the bone loss that can come with aging. Eating a diet high in soybean protein may help, too. In a study, soy protein, such as that found in edamame and soy nuts, decreased the risk of bone fractures, especially in women in early menopause. Isoflavones in soy may be responsible for the effect.
