Beer for your Bones?

stout beer

I know I enjoy a good porter or stout now and then. I have heard beer is good for your bones. 

So is beer really good for your bones? 

Apparently it is!

An interesting study done in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition on pre and postmenopausal women shows that women who drank 1 or 2 beers each day had greater bone mineral density in their spines and hips than those who did not drink beer.   

 Apparently, beers with high levels of malted barley contain a large amount of the mineral silicon. Silicon helps calcium and magnesium form bone. Have an ale instead of a lager. Ales have more silicon.

Sounds good to me!
There are good food sources of silicon too. 

Fruits (cherries, apples, oranges, raisins), veggies (cucumber, onion, cabbage, carrots, leafy greens, pumpkin, beets, bell peppers, soybeans), nuts, seeds and whole grains are also good sources of silicon. 

Let's Go Out for a Beer for Better Bones!

        Have a Beautiful Day!

Dermatofibromas

I have this brown bump on my leg that won't go away. What can I do about it? A. It could be a dermatofibroma. I see them often on my leg waxing clients. A dermatofibroma is a tan to brown benign raised bump more common in women than men and occur commonly on the legs. The bump feels hard under the skin and can be itchy, tender and easily irritated. A doctor will tell you not to worry about it because it's benign, but it's kind of ugly! Dermatofibromas are also called Benign Fibrous Histiocytomas. They are the result of some sort of injury to the skin such as an ingrown hair or a bug bite.  Be careful when shaving because a dermatofibroma may bleed and become sore if nicked. Don't think you can get rid of it by shaving it off. It will be an awful looking sore and will j...
