What I Learned about my Bone Disease

Some facts that I learned/fascinated about the bone disease, Osteoporosis, is that: 1. This disease is the most common in women after the menopause. 2. There are no specific symptom . . it's main consequence is being at high risk of bone fractures. 3. Bisphosphonate drugs are prescribed for people who have osteoporosis. 4. Tobaccon smoking is usually why people get his bone disease. 5. Colles is the 3rd most common type of osteoporotic fractures. 6. Also, alcoholism is another reason why some people get this disease.

What I Learned from Ch. 4

I learned that are bones are more complex than what they look/seem. Also, I learned the primary functions of bones. I also learned how effective it is to ice an injury before it swells up. I learned that why it is bad to crack our knuckles, neck, shoulders, etc. The reason is because if we do it all the time, it builds up, and then it'd eventually burst . . . like a bubble. That's what I learned in class, which is not mentioned in the book. I learned many new workouts that would be interesting to try out as well. For example: squats, Overhead Press, Lateral Deltoid Lift, Rotator-Cuff Rotation, etc. I also learned that when we are doing sit-ups, it's not a wise idea to ask someone to hold your feet for you while you're doing it.. Also, that we should not bend all the way down, while doing lunges, because it's not as helpful as it's said by coaches/P.E. teachers.
