Scientists have recently found that the more cola a woman drinks, the more brittle her bones will be. This is the case for both regular and diet soda. It is thought that the phosphoric acid found in cola drinks is the source of this problem. This acid may cause calcium to be excreted from the body, increasing the risk for brittle bones.

Osteoporosis will develop when a woman’s bone cells are lost than are generated, thereby reducing the density of the bones. The women who drank cola in this study had a lower bone mineral density in the hips. Interestingly, other types of carbonated drinks did not seem to cause the phenomena.

If you are concerned about osteoporosis, talk to your doctor about calcium intake, avoid cola drinks and get plenty of exercise.

When it comes time for allergy season, consider eating foods that contain antihistamine properties.

Foods that are high in Vitamin C contain natural antihistamines, such as green leafy vegetables, red cabbage, sweet peppers, citrus fruits, papayas, strawberries, peaches, cantaloupe, tomatoes, bananas, kiwi, cranberry juice, vegetable juice and yellow squash. Look for bright colors in your fruits and vegetables, and eat them fresh and uncooked if possible.

Canola Oil, meat fed with grass and flax seed oil contain Omega-3, which help to calm down the allergies. Salmon and walnuts also contain Omega-3. Finally try flavonoids found in any vegetable with rich, bright colors. Garlic, apples, tea, parsley, beans and berries also contain flavonoids.
