Does milk really make your bones healthy?

Milk is a good source of calcium, which is important for bone health. However, consuming milk alone is not enough to make your bones healthy. A balanced diet that includes other sources of calcium, such as leafy greens and fortified foods, along with regular physical activity, is key to maintaining strong bones.


What makes bones strong?

Bones are made strong by a combination of minerals, such as calcium and phosphorus, and a protein called collagen. These components work together to provide bones with strength and flexibility, allowing them to support the body and withstand mechanical stresses. Additionally, exercise and a balanced diet play crucial roles in maintaining bone health and strength.

Why are stronger bones healthy for you?

Bones are living tissue, like skin or liver. There are many, many living cells within a bone that are devoted to laying down and also to removing the calcium that provides the physical support that makes bone stiff and strong. If your diet is low in calcium, your body will take calcium out of the bones to use it for essential work elsewhere. If you don't use your bones, by exercising, the cells in the bone will take calcium out of the bone in a "use it or loose it" sort of feedback loop. When bones loose calcium, they are more likely to break or compress. So, when your bones are strong it means your diet and exercise are good and your bones will be much less likely to break or hurt.
