training has long been linked to
improved bone density. The
compression forces of daily
activity stress our bones in a
healthy way. Our bones respond
by building more supportive
substances to structurally bear
load. On the other hand, if we fail
to stress our bones in this fashion
(with a sedentary lifestyle or
failure to use weights in our
exercise routine), our bones will
slowly waste away. In other
words, use it or lose it.Even if you follow all of our
recommendations, however, you’ll find that
you’re probably still not getting as much
calcium as the Powers That Be insist is
necessary.
