“Healthy” Diet Sends Hip Fracture Risk SOARING
When you’re young, a broken bone means getting a cool cast that all your friends sign.
When you’re a senior, it could mean a death certificate.
And yet, DESPITE this so-called “healthy” diet being linked to a SOARING hip fracture risk, it keeps getting shoved down our throats.
Don’t let anyone fool you: There’s nothing “healthy” about a strictly vegetarian diet.
People who follow vegan and vegetarian lifestyles miss out on key nutrients that only animal products provide.
These misguided folks are routinely deficient in…
- vitamin B12 (also linked to CANCER),
- calcium,
- iron, and
- zinc
Deficiencies like these can lead to a devastating list of health problems ranging from muscle and nerve issues to reduced immune function.
Now, new research links vegetarian diets to something that dramatically increases your risk of early death…
Older folks who suffer fragility fractures have a 9.4- to 14.4 percent increased risk of dying within one year.
Hip fractures, in particular, increase that risk by up to 32.3 percent.
Those are VITAL statistics to keep in mind if you’re thinking of swearing off meat because vegetarian diets can send your risk of a broken hip SOARING.
The study showed vegetarians have a 50 percent greater risk of experiencing a hip fracture than meat-eaters.
Should your diet include non-animal foods like fruit, vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds?
ABSOLUTELY!
These foods ARE incredibly good for you and are routinely eaten by the world’s healthiest, longest-living people.
But it’s not ALL they’re eating.
To get a more balanced diet—and a reduced fracture risk—be sure to also eat meat (including organ meats), fish, eggs, and full-fat dairy.
P.S. Forget going veggie. Live LONGER and BETTER using this PROVEN approach to common sense eating instead.
