DID YOU KNOW.
Your skeleton is crucial to your life and well-being.It provides the shape and form for your body,supports and protects
all your vital organs-including your brain and heart-and produces blood for your body.
If you look at bone under a microscope,it has a web-like structure-which is what allows it to be bboth light and very
strong.
The web also acts like a built in shock absorber.
Your skeleton is very much alive,each bone is made up of millions of living cells,which allows it to grow and repair
itself.
Like all the other cells in your body,bones rely on blood to keep them alive by bringing them food and oxygen and taking
away waste.
Many bones have a hollow centre that contains bone marrow,which is where your new red and white blood cells are produced.
Red blood cells for transporting oxygen around your body and white blood cells to fight germs and disease.
Maybe you've never thought exercise was your "thing".
Or you"ve been away from training for awhile.
Either way starting to exercise does'nt require Drastic changes.
Its normal to feel enthusiastic about a New Healthy Lifestyle and many will leap into a strict diet and exercise regime.
However this is not always the most successful path.
A lot of people will go out and do a 5km run which they might not have done for years.
Then spend the next week in pain and Quit.
Moderation is the catchword,start small and as you feel fitter and stronger then you can progress it.
For Beginners and those who havent trained for awhile a good starting point would be 2 to 3 exercise sessions per week.of
about 20 to 30 minutes each.
This could be Walking ,Jogging or a Cardio based class twice a week,plus one session of weights and resistance activities.
Dont even think about changing the Diet straightaway.
While adjusting to exercise for the first couple of weeks just keep eating as normal.

Warning signs.
Pain is the body's warning signal that something is wrong and needs our attention.
Some pain may stem from relatively innocuous causes, but pain can also be a sign of more serious disease. Pain should never
be ignored.

KEEPING YOUR BONES STRONG
In a new baby,bones are quite soft and over many years harden using calcium,protein and phosphorous from the diet.
By the age of 30 your bones are at their strongest.
The growth and rebuilding of bone is a balance between the activity of two types of cells: osteoblasts and osteoclasts.Osteoblasts
encourage the deposits of the mineral calcium phosphate on the protein framework of the bone.Osteoclasts remove mineral from
the bone.
When you suffer a bone fracture - usually through a blow or fall - your body manufactures millions of new osteoblasts
to convert blood into bone and repair the damage.
People with the condition osteoporosis (porous bones) are at a greater risk of fractures because their bones become brittle
and break easily.
The condition is most common in older people but can also affect younger people who have eating disorders or very low
body fat.
There are three ways to help keep you bones strong.
1: Eat plenty of calcium rich foods.
2: Weight -bearing exercise,such as walking,skipping,running,dancing,aerobics,boxing,weight training.
3: Healthy lifestyle - healthy diet,avoid smoking and heavy drinking and keeping your salt and caffiene intake
to a minimum.
