Skeletons in a science classroom are dangling structures of solid rods, disks and plates – simple building materials. But the living bones supporting your body are much more dynamic. "People think bone is some kind of inert substance," says Dr. Michael Greger, founder of NutritionFacts.org. "But, actually, we're remodeling our bone all the time. It's a living, breathing organ that bleeds." As your body continually breaks down and replenishes bone, you should feed it well.
