NOT DEAD ROCK
YOUR BONES ARE ALIVE
Bones might look hard and still, but they are living tissue. Inside them, special cells are constantly breaking down old bone and building new bone. This remodelling keeps your skeleton strong and repairs tiny cracks from everyday life. When you are young, your body builds bone faster than it loses it. That is why childhood and the teen years are a golden time to grow a sturdy frame.
