More specifically, intake of yellow/orange and green vegetables was evaluated to see if greater intake was related to greater bone mass. Interestingly, participants who ate at least one serving per day of yellow/green vegetables had healthier bone mass than participants who ate less than one serving per day. In addition, participants who ate less than one serving per day actually had low bone mass that might serve to put them at risk for bone-related health problems. What was most striking to us about this study was the relatively small amount of yellow/green vegetables associated with bone benefits. We were reminded about how much can be accomplished with relatively small changes in a meal plan, especially changes that incorporate foods as rich in beta-carotene as carrots.} }
