October 24, 2022, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story about bones. It can be any genre or tone. Is it spooky, irreverant, poignant? Go where the prompt leads!
➰➰➰
Most humans have 206 bones, the largest in our thigh to the smallest in our ears.
The importance of healthy bones becomes apparent as we grow older. Broken bones, deformities, and arthritic bones/ joints are what make us realize that we are aging.
Three fractures in my left foot, 3 years ago were a warning to me. Luckily it healed well In the stipulated timeline. But now I’m very careful and I have vitamin D, and calcium supplements to prevent further damage to my bones.
I would advise you all to look after your bone- health to live healthy lives.

Vit D is so important. Sometimes sunlight is not sufficient.

It is true. Our Asian skin doesn’t absorbs enough sunlight to make adequate vit D in our bodies. So a supplement is indeed essential.

My mom has been telling me that I should start taking calcium supplements but I still haven’t. I’m already taking iron supplements for my anemia so I think I should start with the calcium supplements soon

Having dairy, cheese, yogurt etc is more effective than calcium supplements as the natural calcium gets absorbed better.
