"  To your high-calcium diet, add a more festive bone-strengthening option: happy hour! Researchers at Oregon State University have discovered that modest amounts of drinking--linked consistently to better heart health and longer life--seems to improve women&amp;#039;s bone density, too. The scientists asked moderate tipplers (meaning they imbibed anywhere from a half to two drinks either daily or near-daily) to abstain entirely for two weeks, and then start up again. Tests showed that bones thinned during the teetotaling, and thickened once the women started hoisting a glass again. But if you prefer not to booze at all, will your bones suffer? No, says Urszula Iwaniec, Ph.D., the study&amp;#039;s lead author. &amp;quot;There are many lifestyle factors that have more of an influence on bone health, such as a good diet that includes adequate levels of calcium and vitamin D, and regular moderate physical activity.&amp;quot; So feel free to stick to that glass of milk.
