The Importance of Bone Health

Bone health plays a crucial role beyond mere structural support; it is also a vital metabolic organ that produces stem cells essential for various bodily functions. The primary functions of bones include producing blood cells and regulating calcium levels, which are pivotal for heart function and overall metabolic processes. This underscores the significance of maintaining skeletal health, as neglecting it can lead to systemic health issues. Dr. Gundry emphasizes that proper skeletal health is foundational to overall wellness, and taking care of one’s bones is necessary for supporting bodily functions.
