During childhood and adolescence, more bone is deposited than dismantled, so bones grow in both size and density, reaching 90 percent of peak bone mass by age 18 in girls and age 20 in boys.

Beta-carotene and other carotenoids that aren’t converted to vitamin A can also act as powerful antioxidants and have other helpful functions in the body, which may in part explain the health benefits of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
