阅读下面的短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Among my friends, one topic seems to dominate our conversations: bones. It makes sense, given that
20 percent of American women over 50 have osteoporosis(骨质疏松) and that more than half have bone
loss. For men, the figures are lower: 4 percent and a third. Worldwide, one out of three women over 50
and one out of five older men will develop a fracture( 骨折). Another reason for the endless argument
about bone problems is mass confusion over how best to strengthen your bones and whether diet really
makes a difference.
Diet research is always messy, and study results on nutrition and bone health haven t been consistent.
But gradually some clarity is emerging. As we draw up resolutions for what to eat, it s useful to look at new
data on vitamin D. Calcium is the key element for building bones, and vitamin D helps to absorb calcium
from the food we eat, so doctors often recommend D supplements( 补充剂) to make up for age-related
bone loss.
But a recent study found that taking D supplements for five years did not reduce the rate of fractures in
seniors. That result built on earlier findings, led by the same team, that these supplements do not improve
bone density(密度). “Food and sun exposure likely provide enough vitamin D for healthy adults,” says
Meryl LeBoff, who led the study.
What does help maintain strong bones for all of us? The easy answer is food high in calcium, such as
milk and tofu. Getting it from food is best, LeBoff says, “because there are so many other nutrients(营养
物质), and you have a more continuous absorption than with D supplements. ”
The other key element of bone health involves calories out rather than calories in. Weight-bearing
exercise stimulates bone formation throughout life. So while focusing on better nutritional choices, add
more exercise to your daily menu. (江苏省南京市、南通市 2023 届高三第二次调研)
