Bone-building

Question: What are some good bone-building vitamins or foods besides calcium& shark cartilage?

Answer: Shark Cartilage? Sigh. Oh some crazy got to you... Ditch it....k? You need phosphorous (bones are actually mostly phosphorus, its held together by calcium) magnesium, vitamin D, Vitamin K, Boron, Zinc, etc... Take Calcium with D, eat plenty of whole grains, 9-11 servings of fruits and vegetables a day, and take a multivitamin if your doctor approves.

Question: After a bone has healed, bone-building cells wall themselves in and then _____.? Then does it: a. send out filaments b. slowly break down c. turn into blood cells d. start producing stem cells Please help!

Answer: Medscape.com says: "Osteocytes are mature osteoblasts trapped within the bone matrix. From each osteocyte a network of cytoplasmic processes extends through cylindrical canaliculi to blood vessels and other osteocytes. These cells are involved in the control of extracellular concentration of calcium and phosphorus, as well as in adaptive remodeling behavior via cell-to-cell interactions in response to local environment." So the answer must be A.

Question: How far can human will power go? I heard somewhere (possibly Animal Planet) that a man used his own will power to actually lactate and nurse his own child. So, how powerful can the will power of an ordinary human be? Isn't it possible to get a huge, inexplicable result, such as growing a spike from one's kneecap, using bone-building nutrients and will power? I tried looking online for anything, but found that there is no real study on human will power itself.

Answer: Spiked kneecaps would be cool, but If it can be done by drinking milk and willing it ,then I must not have that Kind of willpower. I know the Human mind can creat many wonders,like unusual strength in an emergency situation, but the things you mention are just too far out there for me to believe ..

Question: Since I am a liberal, am I now also a discovery channel terrorist? Have we set up terror cells to force various channels to display our hate for human kind. I need the liberal instruction manual, because I cant possibly fray from the group. That would disappoint a lot of conservatives here. How are we going to work around burying dinosaur bones, building mosques, indoctrinating kids at public schools, sneaking Mexicans in and the such if we now have this added responsibility. I never knew being a liberal would be this much work.

Answer: It's OK - your going to be just find. No worries. The liberal instruction manual - aka - Al Gore's "Inconvenient Truth," "Awakened" an eco-nut named James Lee, who took hostages and held off police for much of the day, protesting the channel's failure to become a complete propaganda outlet for his anti-human, eco-nutty beliefs, that humans are a plague on the planet. Thats not like you is it? I didn't think so. Actually, people like Ted Turner say somewhat similar things about humans taking up resources that should better go to animals and forests, and the underlying philosophy he holds is widely shared on the eco-left. Were this man a follower of Rush Limbaugh or any other conservative, the calls for censorship would be deafening. I don't propose silencing Gore, but the apocalyptic (and fraudulent) vision he enunciated certainly has the potential to affect the vulnerable among us, driving them to believe that only extraordinary actions on their part can save the planet from the demise which surely awaits. Remeber the Unabomber? In the end, when Lee appeared ready to use his gun on hostages, Police were able to shoot and kill him. That is unfortunate, because it would have been interesting to hear Lee defend himself by citing the greenie sources of his dementia. But thank goodness no innocent parties were harmed in what must have been a severe ordeal. o_O

Question: how much can u increase shoulder width by exercising? my shoulders r only 17.5 and i am 17. i am 160 lb 5'8 so i look really slim small on the shoulders, my bone build is ridiculously small upper body, if u work out shoulders do the bones widen at all or muscle just builds? because avrage male shoulders are 21@ and mine at 17 are less than a womans Thanks!

Answer: You are still growing but try these. In front of neck shoulder press, behind neck shoulder press(you only need to lower the bar as far as your ears), side shoulder raises, bent over shoulder raises, dumbell or barbell shrugs. The above, if done properly, will give you what's known as "cannonball delts". You'll also need to widen your back with widegrip, bentover, barbell rows and wide grip lat pulldowns to give you the "v" shape. Lastly, the smaller the waist, the bigger everything else appears. This is the shape you're aiming for... V. The v-shape. Your skeleton's about formed. It might widen, but not much. So yes, you'll have to grow muscle for shoulder width.

Question: How do i cut weight and gain muscle? Hey there im 224 pounds. and have a huge bone build most people dont think im fat. but i think i could use a little trimming. i need a workout that will make me more toned. and that will cut out my mid section. anyone got a plan for me id love to hear your answers

Answer: You need to go for cut not bulk and mass. Use less weight with more reps to get cut and help reduce fat by adding muscle. You should do lots of cardio too, very intense cardio; go for long periods very fast and very hard when doing cardio. Try drinking more water and eating a lot more lean protein too. Drink 3 liters of water a day. Eat about 48 grams of protein a day. Stay away from red meats for protein. The best sources of protein are lentils, pasteurized eggs (whites only), whey, oats, soybeans, etc.

Question: Bone questions!? What type of bone builds up a bone? How does a hinge joint work? Why aren't all muscles voluntary?

Answer: osetoblasts - create new bone (they are a type of bone cell) like an elbow, what is your question? The bones fit together to all movement in a particular way. Ligaments prevent the bone from moving in unproper directions/hold the bones together. Cartilage and synovial fluid/sacs cushion and lubricate the joint. It wouldn't be very good if we had to think of making our heart muscle contract everytime we needed it to beat. Also involuntary muscle is used in digestion. Peristalsis is the contraciton of smooth muscle that allows food to be moved, slowly, through the digestive tract

Question: how to lose wieght and build muscle? I workout a lot with football and I want to eat right and cut back on my Weight but I don't want to hurt myself by not eating enough for my workouts or to lessen the muscle gain i get from the workouts, but i still want to lose Weight and get a good summer body. I am 6 ft tall and about 195lbs and a large bone build. Dads 6 4" and im on my way if this helps. Pretty strong and 15 yrs old.

Answer: As long as you're exercising the muscles, the weight loss will come from fat. Any doubtful areas -- pump iron. Other than that, it's keeping track of calories, and finding the level that will make you lose weight at the desired level. Of course, make sure you're having the dietary essentials -- protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. In protein, go for whole proteins such as meat, milk, fish, and eggs. In fat, go for cold-pressed safflower oil, the best source of linoleic acid, the most essential fatty acid. Make sure you eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, and have a good amount of dietary fiber. Most people supplement with vitamins and minerals.

Question: Could prunes be the fountain of youth? Have read articles recently about prunes helping to build strong bones, there was medical research done on them comparing them to other foods for not only building strong bones but actually reversing bone loss. The results was that they were the number one natural food to reverse bone loss, having high amounts of growth-regulating compounds plus other bone-building nutrients. Supposed to be also good for heart health, regulate blood sugar even for diabetics, lower cholesterol and help absorb iron. Not a whole lot of respect for the humble prune even now, still the butt of jokes I see.

Answer: Sure, but seems funny if they are the fountain of youth, they are all wrinkled. I guess it's what's inside that counts, just like with us!

Question: Do you believe Hazelton, PA is doing the right thing by cracking down on ILLEGAL immigration ?? I say BROVO Hazelton, PA, I hope other towns and cities follow your lead. It's high time someone stood up against an invasion of this great nation by illegal trespassers who mean to do nothing less than take over what our hard working ancestors worked there fingers to the bone building for there future family members, not for illegal immigrants from another country to just take over !! Read more at; spaces.msn.com/thescribbler2006/ That's thescribbler2006/

Answer: I wished every town would crack down on the Illegal Immigration problem. I don't think it is fair that true LEGAL Americans have to foot ANY kind of bill for illegals. I think that anyone caught hiring illegals should have to foot the cost 100% to ship them back to what ever country they came from, no exceptions. Let them come in the legal way. If I committed a crime, I would have to pay a fine or go to jail (I guess it would really depend on the crime now wouldn't it?), why should the get any kind of a pass or free ride?

Question: What do you think of my poem? You scrape my intellect raw, and make my opinions vanish. You plague my thoughts with trash, I can't comprehend a single thing. I'm not able to laugh. I'm not able to kill myself. You interrupt my every breath. Happiness is such foreign ground, hope is such a strange idea, hate is such a waste of time, every thought is such an effort. There's nothing left to analyze, what a deadly open-mindedness. My intentions are blindly twisted, my very bones built of selfishness. Humility is it's goal. Please suffocate my spirit, I'm dying do be lifeless, I'm dying to be done. Thank you for answering. Please take into account I'm 13 Unfortunatley this is how I feel=( PFFT. Alex, if you don't beleive me, then please post somewhere else.

Answer: Interesting, Different, Powerful use of biting, visceral adjectives, A really great poem. The best I've read in this forum. And you're only 13? Keep at it, you have the potential to become a force in the poetry genre. I can't heap upon you enough praise. You have talent.

Question: Do you believe that Hazelton, PA is doing the right thing by cracking down on ILLEGAL immigration ?? I say BROVO Hazelton, PA, it's high time somebody stood up against a true invasion of this country by a people who mean to take it over. And make no mistake that is exactly what they are up to. They are only going to go kicking and screaming, screaming unfair. BUT it is not unfair to defend this great nation against an invasion. They are here trying to take over what millions and millions of our ancesters worked there fingers to the bone building for us, not illegal trespassers from another country to just take over.

Answer: Of course First its illegal for them to be here, which a lot of people don't want to see. Its a drain on the resources of the area/town/city People like Senators Reid, Kennedy, McCain, Dodd and others want to overlook the crime which is being here illegal ID theft using SSN of others. Let them pay (Senators) they won't only want the votes. Just maybe if we as a nation allow a path to citizenship for illegals it time for a strong 3rd party. Yes I am for a guest worker program which has no path for citizenship, you want citizenship go home apply do legal like millions have.

Question: Vibrogym results? Has anyone experienced success in using the vibrogym technology? Does it really help with weight loss/muscle building/bone building? I've read some of what the company states, but I'm looking for real live tried and true results. I hear it's also helpful for those with cellulite. Anyone?

Answer: Is that the machine that you just stand on and it vibrates so many times a second? If it is, then yes I've heard about it. Haven't seen it in person. First I've heard of it was a article about the damages it does on the body. For example, you do not want your brain moving around like that. That is the main part of the study is that it is not good for the stuff in your head to move like that. Don't know medical terminology here, but did you know there are tiny spikes in the inside of the bone that encases the brain? Hence when 'brain damage' happens to accident victims. I just took a moment to see if I could find that article for you, but I'm sorry I couldn't. If I were you, I'd seriously check try to search about this article. And make what decision you feel is best. Good luck!
