How Does the Skeletal System Support the Body, and How Can It Be Kept Healthy? - #14477

Anonymous

I have been experiencing joint stiffness and mild bone pain, and I started wondering about the role of the skeletal system and how to maintain strong bones as I age. Some people say that calcium and Vitamin D are enough for bone health, but I am unsure whether exercise or other nutrients also play a role. The skeletal system provides structure, mobility, and protection for internal organs, consisting of 206 bones and cartilage, joints, and connective tissues. Bone density naturally declines with age, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Many experts recommend weight-bearing exercises, calcium-rich foods, and collagen supplements to strengthen bones. However, I want to know whether excessive physical strain can harm the skeletal system. For those who have focused on bone health, what lifestyle changes made the biggest difference? Did you find dietary changes or supplements most effective? Would love insights into the best ways to maintain a healthy skeletal system and prevent bone-related diseases.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, bone health is governed by Asthi Dhatu (bone tissue), which depends on strong Agni (digestion) and balanced Vata dosha. While calcium and Vitamin D are essential, Ayurveda emphasizes nourishing Asthi Dhatu with Rasayana (rejuvenating) foods like sesame seeds, almonds, dates, and ghee. Herbs like Ashwagandha, Shatavari, and Hadjod (Cissus quadrangularis) help strengthen bones and joints. Weight-bearing exercises support bone density, but excessive strain can aggravate Vata, leading to stiffness and pain. Regular Abhyanga (oil massage) with sesame or Mahanarayan oil lubricates joints and prevents degeneration. A warm, nourishing diet, proper rest, and stress management through yoga are key to long-term bone health.
