Different bones grow at different rates. During puberty, the foot bones grow faster than any other bones in the body and reach their full adult size long before other parts of the body.

Our bones are always changing. Many of the 300 bones we have at birth join together as we grow, leaving us with only 206 bones by the time we reach adulthood. By the end of puberty, our bones have reached their full length, but they continue to grow thicker until we're about thirty. And bone development doesn't stop there. Our complete skeletal system replaces itself every seven years. Taking care of our bones is a lifetime affair.

Osteoporosis and malnutrition are conditions that cause the bones to become so fragile they can break under the slightest pressure. The Osteoporosis Society of Canada reports that almost 1 in 3 women over the age of 50 are affected. Prevention is by far the best way of dealing with osteoporosis - and the earlier the better. Most bones mass is formed during childhood and adolescence, and stronger bones in your youth lead to stronger bones later on. To keep your bones healthy all through your life, calcium and physical exercise are the most important factors.

Bones and Exercise - Astronauts return from space with less bone than when they left. In the weightlessness of space, their skeletons actually start to break down and lose calcium. To avoid bone loss, astronauts exercise with special harnesses which hold them down and add weight. This is a lesson for all "earthlings", bones need weight to stay strong. Activities like walking, tennis or hiking are especially good. Although swimming is an excellent exercise, the buoyancy of the water means the bones aren't challenged with weight.
