Further, even after the exercise training stopped, the mice retained bone strength gains as long as they ate a mineral-supplemented diet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#8220;The longer-term mineral-supplemented diet leads to not only increases in bone mass and strength, but the ability to maintain those increases even after detraining,&#8221; says David Kohn, a professor in the schools of dentistry and engineering at the University of Michigan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#8220;This was done in mice, but if you think about the progression to humans, diet is easier for someone to carry on as they get older and stop exercising, rather than the continuation of exercise itself,&#8221; Kohn says.<\/p>\n<p>The second important finding is that the diet alone has beneficial effects on bone, even without exercising. This surprised Kohn, who expected exercise with a normal diet to fuel greater gains in bone strength, but that wasn&#8217;t the case.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Diet is easier for someone to carry on as they get older and stop exercising, rather than the continuation of exercise itself.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The data suggests the long-term consumption of the mineral-supplemented diet could be beneficial in preventing the loss of bone and strength with age, even if you don&#8217;t do exercise training,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<p>Combining the two amplifies the effect.<\/p>\n<p>Most other studies look at effects of increasing dietary calcium, Kohn says. This study increased calcium and phosphorous, and found benefits to increasing both.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t to suggest that people run out and buy calcium and phosphorus supplements, Kohn says. The findings don&#8217;t translate directly from mice to humans, but they do give researchers a conceptual place to start.<\/p>\n<p>We know that humans achieve peak bone mass in their early 20s, and after that it declines. The question becomes how to maximize the amount of bone when young, so that when declines do begin, people start from a better position, Kohn says.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to testing bone mass and strength, the researchers performed a full battery of mechanical assessments on the bone, which is important because the amount of bone doesn&#8217;t always scale with or predict the mechanical quality of the tissue.<\/p>\n<p>They tested the mice after eight weeks of training and supplemented diet or normal diet, and then after eight weeks of detraining.<\/p>\n<p>The study appears in <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.plos.org\/plosone\/article?id=10.1371\/journal.pone.0204470\"><em>PLOS ONE<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/news.umich.edu\/nutrition-has-a-greater-impact-on-bone-strength-than-exercise\/\">University of Michigan<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nutrition has a greater impact on bone strength than exercise, according to a new study.
