A new study published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research reveals that a combination of exercise and staying away from alcohol for eight weeks could reduce risk of bone fractures due to osteoporosis by reversing bone loss suffered as a result of addiction.
Recent studies have shown a link between alcoholism and osteoporosis and researchers at Medical University Innsbruck, Austria conducted a study among 53 male adults between 21 and 50 years of age who suffered from lower bone mineral density.
The participants were checked whether abstaining from alcohol improved their BMD levels and researchers found that the imbalance in level of bone formation and resorption improved among those who abstained from alcohol.
