We are filling both buckets with water at a rate of 1-gallon per minute, while at the same time we are draining both buckets at a rate of two gallons per minute. As I stated earlier, bone serves as a depository for calcium in the body. We, therefore, supplement our bodies in the later years not so much to add calcium to the existing bone as much as to supply calcium for other bodily functions. In this way we can save the calcium in the boney matrix for use by the bone. I am saying that its value in prevention of osteoporosis is of questionable.
Aerobic exercise is primarily a cardiovascular enhancement activity.
I admit I have not read all the articles out there, but what I have seen indicates this to be true. As I stated in the article on osteoporosis, the primary types of exercises for prevention of this condition should be weight bearing exercises. We all need to get some sort of physical exercise. A good exercise program should include both aerobic and some weight training. DO NOT place the body at risk of injury to the bone and supporting structures in an effort to ward off the natural aging effects.
