Bones provide the basic structure of our body upon which flesh, organs, and skin are placed. It is always advised to build up strong bones during your childhood since bones tend to become weaker in your adulthood.

• Bones protect our important organs like the heart, skull, lung, etc., from any external injury. They serve as a shield to them.
• Bones enable us to move by providing mobility.
• By the age of 30, we reach our peak bone mass; until then, you should try to form as many strong bones as possible so that you don’t suffer from Osteoporosis in your later life.

This medical term refers to a condition where your bones tend to become fragile and brittle with age. This can be caused due to the deficiency of Vitamin D, calcium, or hormonal transitions.
