Exercise helps burn bone fat
Exercising burns the fat found within bone marrow and this process improves bone quality in a matter of weeks, says a study. Although research in mice is not directly translatable to the human condition, the kinds of stem cells that produce bone and fat in mice are the same kind that produce bone and fat in humans. "In just a very short period of time, we saw that running was building bone significantly in mice," Styner said. The study, published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, also suggests that obese individuals - who often have worse bone quality - may derive even greater bone health benefits from exercising than their lean counterparts. Our studies of bone biomechanics show that the quality and the strength of the bone is significantly increased with exercise and even more so in the obese exercisers," Styner said.
