The DASH diet may have beneficial effects on bone health

Lorna Doyle et al. Nutr Rev. 2004 May.

Abstract

Recent data from an ancillary study to the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH)-Sodium trial suggest that while sodium intake had very little effect on bone metabolism, the DASH diet (over 30 days) significantly reduced markers of bone turnover. This DASH diet-induced reduction in bone turnover, if sustained, may improve bone mineral status.
