Inspiration can come from many different places. One of mine is a YouTube channel "Smarter everyday." They posted a video about astronauts and how they have created ways to exercise in space. Since there is no gravity, they are subject to muscle mass and bone density loss at rapid pace. While this is interesting and you see how they have created an exercise machine that uses a vacuum piston system to simulate weight, I was most intrigued by how the body loses the bone density. You see, my family has a history of osteoporosis, so I new the affects of bone density loss, but never knew exactly how it happened. Come to find out, the body actually has to excrete the calcium. Our body can excrete in lots of different ways, but in this case it is through urination. Long story short, if you aren't making sure your body has what it needs to maintain strong bones (calcium, minerals, and bone bearing exercise etc. ) you are literally peeing away your bones...shocking!
Definitely something I didn't know before today. The video has lots of interesting material, you should check it out: https://youtu.be/05oOst9kZXQ
We shall see what tomorrow brings...excited to share!
