How Strong Are Our Bones?
You are told that the strongest parts of your body are your bones.
In fact, they are so strong and hard that they are the ones retained in corpses even after a long period of time.
But their strength seems to have been taken for granted by most people.
It is quite certain that if you are asked today how strong you think your bones are, you would not be able to give a direct and definite answer.
There are people who would say that their bones are as strong as cast irons.
Others would claim that they have bones that have structures almost the same as concrete.
You probably have had that idealized version too, thinking that your bones are as hard as marble.
These comparisons can actually touch the truth.
However, it is still better if you get answers that are backed by medical and scientific research.
Probably the best way for you to know how strong your bones are is to check your bone density.
In a general medical view, the higher that your bone density registers the stronger your bones are.
Bone density normally represents the strength of your bones from ever since you are a child until you have reached age 25.
Eventually, the density deteriorates and records up to 0.
5% of loss due to age.
This is why most elderly men and women are considered to have a weaker set of bones than younger people.
Calculating the average density of your bones is approximately 1500 kg m−3.
In effect, this is representative of all the other metaphors associated to bone strength.
But of course, regardless of how strong your bones seem to you, there are still risk factors that they are exposed to.
Consequently, they become at risk of actually having bone disorders that are difficult to treat.
When a certain disorder, like osteoporosis, has affected your bones, it is best that you know about it.
Undergo tests and laboratory procedures to be sure that there are no other underlying disorders or conditions.
Low bone density may do signify weaker bones and put you at risk of bone disorders and fractures.
Indeed, the bone is so strong that very little circumstances would be able to affect it negatively.
They may become brittle as you age but their strength is still intact.
If need be, you may coordinate or schedule an appointment with your trusted doctor or osteopath.
They can help you understand the make-up of your bones.
They can also prescribe tests that would let you know how strong your bones are.
Eventually, you would be given a course of action that would ensure that your bones would stay strong for a longer period of time.
