How a Sedentary Lifestyle Can Interfere with Your Bone Health

 

The human body contains more than 200 bones, each providing support, stability, and protection for your organs and tissues. However, maintaining healthy bones requires more than just drinking milk or taking calcium supplements.

This video explains that your bones require regular weight-bearing activity to retain their strength. A sedentary lifestyle can lead to obesity, which puts excess strain on your bones and joints. This causes pain, weakness, and many other health problems that may interfere with your quality of life. Getting regular exercise of any kind will help you to keep your bones and joints strong and healthy.
