Answer 8

I guess you just have to learn it lol

Your body is always forming bone and breaking down bone.
When you're younger, you're forming more bone than breaking it down which is why you grow.
But then eventually, you stop growing. And that's when you're forming bone at the same rate.

But if you start to break down bone more than it's getting formed, you're more likely to get osteoporosis, which means you'll very easily get fractures.

Answer 9

So what is the most important mineral in bone formation? This is what you add to the bones.
If you're breaking down bones, you'd be losing this mineral.

I'll tell you that vitamin D is very important for bone synthesis, so you also want to make sure you have vitamin D in your diet.

So without giving you the answer explicitly, I'll redirect you to search or Google this to find your answer:
