title: The DASH diet may have beneficial effects on bone health.
abstract: Recent data from an ancillary study to the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH)-Sodium trial suggest that while sodium intake had very little effect on bone metabolism, the DASH diet (over 30 days) significantly reduced markers of bone turnover. This DASH diet-induced reduction in bone turnover, if sustained, may improve bone mineral status.
