 In terms of bone density, for example, you already know that subjecting your bones to stress causes your body to build stronger bones. This does not happen in a matter of hours. It takes days, weeks, even months to rebuilt bones, especially if you start out with very low bone mineral density. During this adaptation period, your body is rebuilding bone mineral density by depositing nutrients, mostly minerals in this case, into the bone structure of your skeletal system. |

 Any kind of joint pain, bone pain or bone arthritis has a cause. It's not just that things wear out, and anyone who says the human body is like a bunch of car parts is using the wrong metaphor. They are flat-out incorrect, and they do not understand how the human body really works. Car parts wear out the more you use them because you have gears rubbing on gears, which creates friction and the breakdown of metal, and, eventually, you end up with a gear that's worn out. That does not happen in the human body. You don't have bone rubbing on bone in a healthy human body. |
| If you've ever had bone rubbing on bone in your body (and there are situations in which people have such terrible nutrition that their body breaks down and doesn't rebuild all the supporting tissues and fluids, so they can end up having bone rubbing on bone), it's not a problem of use; it's a problem of poor health. It's a problem of eating lots of processed food and animal products and avoiding raw fresh juices and healthy nutrition. |

Obviously, if you do not have excess nutrients available in your body at the time your body is attempting to make this adaptation, then you are not going to build strong bones. In other words, if you exercise and do not supplement with good nutrition, you are wasting most of your exercise effort. |

| You don't have bone rubbing on bone in a healthy human body. The more you use your body, in fact, the healthier your body gets. The body doesn't wear out with use. You don't just have a certain number of heartbeats in your life and then you're dead. In fact, if you exercise your heart, you get stronger. If you give your heart nutrition -- through B6 vitamins, calcium and magnesium -- your heart gets stronger. If you exercise your muscles, they get stronger. If you exercise your bones, they get stronger, too.
The human body is a miracle-class machine that adapts to stress by repairing itself. |

 Remove the breast bone and leg bones, pull off any edible meat from the bones, putting the meat back into the soup, and then discard the bones. Sift through the soup looking for small bones and joints that might have fallen off and discard them.
Place a small amount of cooked brown rice in 3 or 4 plastic containers. With a ladle, transfer some soup to each container, but don't fill them all the way to the top. (The volume will expand a little when you freeze the soup.) Seal the containers and freeze them for future use.
At least partially defrost the chicken soup before heating it in a pot. |

 At those levels, excess calcium is removed from bone and eliminated, blood levels are reduced, and there is bone demineralization. A diet high in phosphorus and low in calcium has been shown to cause bone loss and increase tissue calcification."
"Tooth loss, periodontal disease, and gingivitis can be problems, especially with a high phosphorus intake, particularly from soft drinks. All kinds of bone problems can occur with prolonged calcium deficiency, which causes a decrease in bone mass. |

 Don't poison your children with fluoride
Speaking of strong bones, when I was in grade school, I had a friend who broke at least one bone every year. All through school, it was sort of a running joke that this guy had weak bones. It didn't occur to me until years later why he had weak bones. The answer was fluorosis. He was being overdosed with fluoride.
He had the classic signs -- most notably the discoloration of the front teeth and the broken bones. Excessive exposure to fluoride will cause both of these effects. |

 Wolff, discovered that, "Mechanical forces have a major influence on the bone modeling and remodeling processes in both cortical and trabecular bone, since their effects on bone morphology are obvious ... The mechanical forces are sensed in the bone, and all of these mechanical forces are translated to structural adaptation of the internal tissue architecture."63 Dr. Wolff has explained that our bones can strengthen or weaken in response to the forces applied to them. |

 REPPED: A new study published in the journal Endocrinology reveals that giving Prozac to children may result in a loss of bone mass. The study was conducted on mice and showed an average 9.4% less bone formation in the thighbones of the mice taking Prozac, compared to mice who were not given the drug. With the popularity of antidepressant drugs continuing to climb, and with Prozac now the only antidepressant still being widely prescribed to children in the United States, this finding is of special significance. |

 Protein-rich diets can also help to preserve bone mass and bone density, as long as the diet includes large amounts of vegetables and fruits.
Protein is necessary for the formation of both muscle and bone, and eating vegetables and fruit counteracts any potential negative impact from consuming large amounts of protein.

 Soda
Aside from directly promoting diabetes and obesity, sodas also contain high amounts of phosphoric acid, a substance that dissolves bones and causes a loss of bone mineral density. This causes massive tooth decay as well as a shrinking jaw bone and overall skeletal fragility. Diet sodas are even worse, since they contain chemical sweeteners linked to neurological disorders and learning disabilities.

Air fresheners contain cancer-causing chemicals. Unleashing them in the house exposes children to these chemicals, promoting asthma and other respiratory problems. |

 And we now recognize that vitamin D is very important for muscle function, and that people who are vitamin D deficient are prone to have muscle weakness, they're more likely to fall and they're more likely to have bone fractures. We also know that if you're vitamin D deficient, not only does it precipitate and exacerbate osteoporosis in older men and women, but it causes a very subtle and quite devastating bone disease known as osteomalatia. Long story short, osteomalatia is like adult rickets. And what it does is it causes severe bone discomfort, achiness in the bones and also in the muscles. |

| For example, astronauts in space lose some of their bone mass due to an absence of gravity. In conclusion, to strengthen our bones we need to exercise. No pills, food, or supplements can substitute for exercise to make our bones stronger.
Many people have problems both with the narrowing of their jaws and thinning of the jawbone. "It's a major problem in dentistry," said Ichiro Nishimura, associate professor of restorative dentistry at Harvard School of Dental Medicine. "The thin jaws can be easily fractured. Also, placing dentures is very difficult, since there's no supporting structure. |

 Recent research suggests that vitamin K2 is extraordinarily affective in slowing down the absorption of bone cells and increasing bone mineralization which means stronger, healthier bones. It also prevents the deposition of calcium in blood vessels and in the animal model; it has demonstrated regression of calcification, or in simple words plaque reversal.
In a 2004 Dutch study, referred to as the Rotterdam Study, in approximately 5,000 people there was a significant relationship with the intake of dietary forms of vitamin K2 (various cheeses) and a reduced incidence of aortic calcification. |

 FACT
One of the main storage areas for lead is in the bones, where it is stored from early childhood during bone development. With aging and the onset of osteoporosis, blood lead levels begin increasing as it's released from thinning bones. So it's possible for lead toxicity to increase without further exposure to lead. it is used by municipal water supplies as a "flocculating" agent to remove dirt, and it is widely used in food processing. |

| At midnight the ogres approached from the city of ogres, slew the oxen and men, every one, devoured their flesh, leaving only the bare bone;;, and, having so done, departed. The bones of their hands and all their other bones lay scattered about in the four directions and the four intermediate directions; five hundred carts stood as full as ever.49

 Children's Vulnerability to Proper bone Development
Bones of mice exposed to antidepressants are narrower, have less bone mass and even have inferior mechanical characteristics.51 The implications are most serious. Will children exposed to antidepressants today have skeletal problems and frequent bone fractures as they age? No research will exist for many years that will be able to document what the impact is. |

 But on top of that, it's that weight-bearing exercise, but not the everyday stuff you do -- we're weight-bearing right now, but this doesn't do the trick -- it's got to be something that actually stresses a bone, and there is no better way to do that than a weight training program. With that, you're stressing all the bones, whereas if you do something else you might be stressing the bones in the hips, but you're not stressing the arms, the shoulders or the spine -- and again, that's where a woman starts losing that bone mineral density. |

 These functions are surely less harmful to tissues than the attrition of bone upon bone at the joints, for example. Heart, muscle, bones, joints, skin and the hollow viscera, which move continuously or act as bearings, must all, one would suppose, be subjected to continuous mechanical deterioration due to friction and flexion. These organs ought to deteriorate long before the brain does... All that has to be done is (1) to reduce the small amount of vascular wear and tear in the brain, and (2) discover and then inhibit chemical changes in cerebral tissues which lead to tissue failure. |

| In addition, following a low-calorie diet without at least moderate levels of physical activity will lead to the loss of both muscle and bone. That's because weight loss results from a decrease of both fat and muscle. As we explained in our discussion of protein in chapter 4, however, protein-rich eating habits do a better job of preserving muscle mass in comparison with simple low-calorie diets.
Protein-rich diets can also help to preserve bone mass and bone density, as long as the diet includes large amounts of vegetables and fruits. |
