Things that can Speed Up Bone Renewal

1. Weight-bearing exercise – Walking, running, dancing, or strength training stimulates bone-forming cells.

2. Adequate calcium & vitamin D – Calcium is the building block, and vitamin D helps absorb it.

3. Protein-rich diet – Supports collagen production in bone.

4. Hormones – In youth, growth hormone, estrogen, and testosterone boost bone formation.

5. Healing after injury – Bone repair triggers faster cell activity in that area.

Things that can Slow Down Bone Renewal

1. Lack of exercise – Sedentary lifestyle signals bones they don’t need to stay strong.

2. Low calcium/vitamin D intake – Leads to weaker bones and slower repair.

3. Smoking & excess alcohol – Reduce blood supply and damage bone-forming cells.

4. Chronic stress – High cortisol levels slow bone-building.

5. Certain medications – Long-term steroid use or some cancer drugs can weaken bones.

Thanks for sharing, I didn’t realize stress could slow bone renewal. Adding on to this, getting some sun for vitamin D, plus trace nutrients like magnesium and vitamin K2, are equally important for keeping bones strong. It’s fascinating how these everyday habits really build a healthier skeleton over time.
