As we advance in age or when we perform intense exercise, it is common to experience bone pain. These pains can be annoying and sometimes limit our daily activities.
However, exercise is essential to keeping us active and healthy, and not only helps strengthen muscles, but also protect our bones.
The renowned health influencer Boticaria García addressed this topic on the La 2 program, ‘Órbita Laika’, offering practical advice to avoid those annoying bone pains and highlighting the importance of strength exercise.
According to Boticaria García, the key to strengthening bones lies in strength exercises, which go beyond traditional aerobic exercises.
While the aerobic exercises, such as running or swimminghelp improve resistance and cardiovascular health, strength exercises are essential to maintain bone structure.
“In strength exercises, the muscle is forced to communicate very well with the brain to work against resistance,” explains Boticaria. This resistance can be achieved with weights, elastic bands or even using our own body weight in exercises such as squats.
He myocytea cell present in muscles, plays a crucial role in this process. Boticaria García emphasizes that the myocyte has “two superpowers that I love”: one of them is to take care of the bones, especially the osteocytes, the cells of bone tissue.
«The myocyte and the osteocyte They are like twin brothers; “When one feels something, the other notices it.” This link between muscle and bone means that when we exercise the muscle, the bone also strengthens, helping to prevent problems such as osteoporosis.
Exercise correctly
The importance of quality exercise is also a highlight. Boticaria warns that, if strength exercises are performed inadequately, the muscle will not generate the necessary stimulus in the bone, which will prevent its strengthening.
«If the myocyte does a squatthe bone does not become strong,” he comments, emphasizing that muscle and bone “have to go hand in hand.”
Strength exercises not only improve muscle health, but also contribute to the protection of bones, promoting an active and healthy life.
