Death is not the greatest loss  in life. the greatest loss is what dies within us while we live.”  So said Norman Cousins. The recent terror attacks have left many families broken-hearted. Following the death of someone close, many of us feel that life has lost its meaning and convince ourselves that we’ll be miserable for the rest of our lives. We can successfully overcome these natural reactions… Here’s How :

People who exercise regularly are less likely to suffer from fractures or bone injuries and ailments such as osteoporosis and back pain can be reduced or prevented with regular exercise. Osteoporosis is a bone-weakening disease that develops gradually and makes bones fragile and susceptible to fracture. This especially affects women as they begin to lose bone density after the age of 30.

One in three women and one in 12 men over the age of 50 develop fragile bones, which makes them more susceptible to osteoporosis. Weight-bearing exercises can improve calcium deposition in the bones. Regular exercise reduces the occurrence of ailments such as osteoporosis.

How does exercise help build strong bones?

Exercise helps develop and maintain healthy bones. It builds strength and stamina, and increases bone density. The human skeleton comprises 206 bones, which gives our body its frame-work.
