Two Drinks A Day Keeps the Hip Fractures Away

13_twodrinks_lgl.jpgI just turned 31, not old enough to worry about hip fractures right? But imbibing about two drinks a day could actually help my bone health! That’s right. Pour yourself a glass or two, but no more.

A new study reveals that a drink or two a day may make for stronger bones, while more than two drinks may lead to a broken hip (due to bone loss, not because wasted people are falling down). People in the study who drank between one half and one alcoholic beverage a day were 20 percent less likely than teetotalers to sustain hip fractures, according to The American Journal of Medicine.

Another rum and coke please.
