A skeleton is nothing but a set of bones which supports your entire body when you sit, stand or move. Weaker bones will disable you to lead a safe life which is caused by a number of reasons such as deficiency of calcium, lack of physical activity, genetic problem, accidents or any medication, or simply because of some bad habits like smoking and drinking. Eat calcium and protein rich foods to keep them strong.

The thigh bones of humans are actually even stronger than a concrete block. Now that we think about it, it actually makes sense because it is the thigh bones who bear maximum strength in our body. Several studies have been carried out to prove this theory and it has been anticipated that they can even support weight upto 1 ton before eventually snapping. To keep them as healthy and powerful, your body must meet daily requirements of calcium, proteins and physical exercise.

Stiffness index is directly linked to the quality of bones and a recent study claims that endurance running training has a good effect on it. The results of the study confirm that the longer you run the better it is to prevent the progressive decline in mineral density of bone which occurs with age. Training to compete in endurance races helps to modify the mechanism of the calcaneus, a bone in our foot that forms the heel. Hence, keep running.

Keeping your bones strong is as essential for maintaining the overall health of our body for everyday living. The best way to do that is to consume foods which are rich sources of calcium and vitamin D in our regular diet. This helps to prevent diseases like osteoporosis which makes our bones break and brittle. Top foods which provide sufficient calcium and vitamin D are Milk, Yoghurt, Soya Beans, Ladies Finger, Cheese, Sesame Seeds, Oranges, Cinnamon and Almonds. Apart from that, eggs and spinach are also good sources of Vitamin D.

Earlier, the bone cells had fewer chances of healing because the blood vessels around the fracture which were meant to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the cell, themselves faced a shortage of same. In this new mechanism, the researchers inactivated the oxygen sensor in the bone cells before implantation ensuring better chances of survival. The bone cells showed an increased storage of an emergency fuel inthe form of glycogen, which is a sugar reservoir. Additionally, they also started using an amino acid - glutamine to produce more antioxidants which will nullify the harmful oxygen radicals produced. This ultimately will lead to better bone regeneration.
