Building bone as a young adult can have benefits that last a lifetime, a new study showed. The research also confirmed that physical activity as we get older can help us maintain bone strength.
Bone is a living tissue. It responds to physical activity by becoming heavier, bigger, and stronger. It does this best when we’re young. Bone mass usually peaks when we’re in our 20s. After that, we often begin to lose bone.
