How do a well-balanced diet and a weight-bearing exercise help keep bones strong?
The diet will ensure the elements you need to make and repair bones are present in your body as needed. Weight bearing stresses on bones causes electricity in the bones to be generated these micro electric currents stimulate the bones to strengthen in response. Thus in space where there is no gravity to cause weight, the bones of astronauts weaken (despite a good diet) and they have to exercise against springs to cause stresses in their bones.
