Consumption of vegetables potentially benefits bone

Increased fruit and vegetable consumption is associated with a greater reduction in oxidative capacity and inflammation due to their phytochemicals with antioxidant properties and anti-inflammatory effects

Consuming vegetables at the DGA recommended amount increased urinary pH, decreased urinary acid and Mg excretion, and decreased the serum concentration of the bone resorption marker CTX.
