According to a study, older women could be protected from osteoporosis or thinning of bones by having one or two glasses of wine per day.
The study was conducted by the International Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research and stated that bone strength could be sustained after menopause by regular moderate intake of alcohol.
Experts said, “In comparison, abstaining from alcohol leads to a higher risk of developing osteoporosis.”
For claiming the above about 40 healthy post-menopausal women were looked at for an analysis by US researchers at the University of Oregon.
