Healthy Mind, Body, Bones
Bone health is essential to a healthy body and many other benefits. What many people do not know however, is that it is more ideal to be aware of and act upon of the benefits as early as possibly. Physical activity plays a crucial part in maintaining and improving bone health and can prevent diseases such as osteoporosis from occurring earlier on.
Evening going for a simple jog or walk can be beneficial
Staying physically active is very beneficial for all ages and can be enjoyable for everyone
Physical activity and exercise, such as jogging, weightlifting and various other activities that apply beneficial stress on the body, also known as Eustress, encourage the body to adapt to "protect" itself. When applied to the skeletal muscular system of the body, this strengthens the bones and adds more mass and width, thickening and enforcing them.
Applying "good stress" to the body from physical activities such as going for walks and lifting objects to exercise such as body weight training or weight training encourages the body to change for the better and protect itself
Exercising regularly and staying physically active are just a component of having a healthy body
Medical condition prevention for diseases such as osteoporosis, a bone disease that weakens and makes the bones brittle, go hand-in-hand with a healthy body through physical activity and exercise. This happens because when Osteoporosis is present within someone, the breakdown and hollowing of the bone is slowed down at least, due to the density of the skeletal muscle from the overloaded stress that has been applied to them. Osteoporosis is known to occur in older individuals for both men and women, so the earlier a prevention plan is implement, the better.
Bone density is greatly deteriorated from osteoporosis in comparison to a regular bone matrix
