Bones support the body and allow movement, but as we age they become weaker and bone density decreases. It is important to consume calcium and vitamin D to maintain bone health. You should also pay attention to your bone health through regular strength training. In particular, after middle age, bone density decreases, increasing the risk of fractures and making people predisposed to osteoporosis. Let’s uncover the misconceptions and truths about “bones,” which become more important as we age.

◆ Do the bones continue to grow little by little?
Some people believe that injured bones continue to grow little by little because they heal by reattaching. However, bone growth stops in the late 20s. However, the transformation continues. As we age, bone density decreases, bones become thinner and more fragile. You can maintain bone health for a longer period of time by consuming enough calcium and vitamin D and exercising regularly.
◆ Do carbonated drinks destroy bones?
If you drink a lot of carbonated drinks like cola or cider, will your bones become weaker? This statement is half right and half wrong. First, the carbon dioxide gas in carbonated drinks does not harm bones. Of course, this doesn’t mean that carbonated drinks are good for bone health. This is because “phosphorus and caffeine”, which are other ingredients that make up carbonated drinks, weaken bones.
◆ Do bones produce red blood cells and white blood cells?
Bones support the overall structure of the body and become the foundation on which the body moves and acts. It also has the function of protecting and wrapping the soft organs from external shocks. Additionally, it plays a role in the production of red blood cells that carry proteins and oxygen to each tissue in the body, and white blood cells that help fight infections.

◆ Is smoking harmful to bone health?
Cigarettes are useless. Smoking, which is known to be harmful to lung and heart health, is also harmful to bone health. Chemicals, including nicotine, interfere with the buildup of calcium in our bodies, causing us to miss the opportunity to strengthen our bones.
◆ Do children have more bones than adults?
YES. Humans are born with around 300 bones. However, during the growth process, only 206 bones remain. This is because parts of the bones fuse together during the aging process. The bones of some newborns are made of a soft, flexible tissue called cartilage, which gradually becomes hard.
◆ Is the bone that breaks most easily the arm bone?
It is quite common to see people around you who have injuries to the bones of their arms or legs. So, which arm or leg bones are most prone to breaking? Not exactly. The clavicle, also known as the clavicle, is the most common site of fractures. If you fall and land with your arm under your torso, your shoulder is pressed hard against the floor, or you hit a wall or door, there is a high chance that your collarbone will be injured.
◆ Are there independent bones that are not connected?
Are all the bones that make up the human body connected? There is a bone that is not connected at all. The U-shaped “hyoid” bone is located between the lower jaw bone and the sternum. It is the only bone in our body that is not connected to other bones.
