Pour Me a Drink: Cocktails Strengthen Bones
Image details: Thinkstock Single Image Set served by picapp.com
Keeping with the topic of women’s health today (be sure you enter our awesome book contest in the post below!), word is that cocktails (yes I mean those dreamy little Friday Happy Hour mood-enhancers) can help strengthen bones. For real!
Not only that, but according to The American Journal of Medicine, they also help reduce the risk of hip fracture by 20%.
Of course, everything in moderation though, my friends. Having more than two alcoholic drinks per day makes you 39% more susceptible to hip fractures, a figure that most likely comes from falling while tipsy.
So hey, while bellying up at the bar and grill tonight, make sure to tell everyone how that martini is really a health potion in disguise. Enjoy!

Um, they didn’t say, so I’m going with ‘the bigger, the better!’ ;)
Cheers!
