Okay, no long words.

Through your life, you are constantly "remodeling" your bones. <s>Osteoblasts</s> Special cells take away bone, and <s>osteoclasts</s> other special cells lay down more bone. When you are young, these are balanced. If you put load on bones, like if you get a lot of exercise, you get a little more on the rebuilding and your bones get a little stronger. This is why they recommend weight training for people with <s>oteoporosis</s> the weakening bone disease.

When you get older <s>or postmenopausal</s>, there is an imbalance, with more bone being taken up than is being built. The nice drug helps get the bone remodeling into balance. Not having a bone break when you are old is very big for overall quality of life.

I'm down with that pic. I just hope she doesn't post that one from a few years ago at the El Rancho Rankin where they had this dude who was dressed up like an Indian who had a tennis ball shoved in mouth, and Gae brought this weird hot oil treatment stuff and I'm like...well, those days are over, it's off to marital bliss for me...
