WE AREN’T JELLY FISH

It only makes sense that bones, which allow us to move about, are our treasures. Without them, we could not unscrew the lid of a jar, let alone sit at the dinner table. As we get older, you likely know that bones can lose density, and that severe loss of bone density is calledosteo- porosis.Women are more prone to this process but men can also suffer severe bone loss leading to problems with balance and falls that cause bones to fracture and break. Your physician can test your bone density. But you can help to strengthen your bones through weight-bearing exercises and diet.
