Loss of estrogen can have a disastrous effect on bone the damage can even be irreversible Static but is always a work in Progress. Nour ished by blood and sheathed in muscle nerves and skin, it is constantly being remod elled. Osteoclasts, or bone ting cells, are continually hollowing out tunnels and cavi ties, which are continually being refilled by osteoblasts or bone-building cells Because, in the first thirty years of your life, the process of building bone exceeds that of wearing bone away, this is the time to build strong, mineral-dense bones. At the end of this period, you will attain, or you ought to have attained, peak bone mass. Dr. Robert He: internationally renowned osteoporo: pecialist at Nebras- ka’s Creighton University, says that there are three things young people can do to achieve this—get enough calcium, get enough exer cise and avoid excessive thinness. Surveys of young people and their con- sumption of calcium have revealed that young women on the average get only between four hundred and five hundred mii- ligrams of calcium per day. (The recom- mended daily requirement for adolescents is 1200 milligrams.) Boys tend to get more cal- cium because, unlike girls, there isn't the association between avoiding milk and main taining an ideal body weight Exercise pays off greatly during the bones’ prime growth years. Movement exerts mechanical pressure on the skeleton, and that pressure initiates the bone remod- elling process.
