Our bones gives our body the shape. There are 206 bones in the human body. Every bone in our body serves a purpose. The bones of our skeleton can be broken down into 4 groups types: flat, irregular, long, and short. The flat bones can be thought of as the protection bones. Bones also help protect certain organs in the body. 

The bone tissue is a hard tissue called osseous tissue. Inside the bone is a honeycomb type storage that is use to produce the two types of marrow, red and yellow. The red marrow creates red and white blood cells. The bone is made up of different types of cells such as osteoblasts and osteocytes. The bone is made up of calcium, phosphate, magnesium, potassium, sodium, and carbonate. Type 1 collagen also plays a role in the formation of our bones. The bones act as a storage place for minerals such as calcium, and phosphorus. We all have been raised to believe we need a lot of calcium in our diets. One of the main causes of too much blood calcium is primary hyperparathyroidism. Malignancy (cancer) is the second cause of high blood calcium. Eating a healthy diet such as the P53 Diet can help ensure healthy bones.

Foods that help build and maintain healthy bones include spinach, collard greens, garlic, tomatoes, avocados, kiwi, oranges, kale, figs, oatmeal, tofu, sesame seeds, white beans, mushrooms
