Grapefruit become younger and help strengthen bones

Grapefruit - unique jugs, practically indispensable for women. The aroma of grapefruit makes a woman five years younger, and the consumption of juice - excellent development of osteoporosis prevention.

The greatest characteristic aroma of grapefruit discovered neurologist and psychiatrist Alan Hirsch, director of Research Foundation smell and taste in Chicago. After several experiments, he found that the smell of grapefruit makes women in the eyes of men at the age of 5-6 years. Scientific experiments conducted with the participation of volunteers: middle-aged women putt on different aromas, including broccoli, banana, mint, lavender and so on. But none of those smells male perception has not changed. None other than the smell of grapefruit. At the same time, the scents that have impact on how women evaluate age men, were found. "To Do men more susceptible flavor women, or women are making skilful determine the age that nothing could deceive them" - a summary of Hirsch.

Meanwhile, scientists from Texas A & M University found that regular consumption of orange and grapefruit juice prevents the development of osteoporosis. "We found that Plum and orange juice increased the activity of antioxidants that increase bone density" - said one of the authors of the study Bhimu Patil.

Antioxidants - vitamins, minerals and other natural components - hinder the development of cancer, cardiovascular disease and stroke, scientists believe. In citrus fruit contains about 400 active ingredients - which one of these components contributes to the strength of bones, exactly unknown, but the researchers suggest that such a substance is limonoid.

Recall osteoporosis - a disease characterized by progressive decrease in bone density. In most cases, the disease progresses after 50 years, the most frequent manifestation serve her neck fractures femur, vertebrae or tubular bones.
